Abstract

Nowadays, with the increasing diversity of Internet programs, more and more programs have launched more functions. However, many system vulnerabilities have gradually surfaced, and the process of finding and repairing vulnerabilities has become an imminent problem for developers. Code snippets related to dynamic memory allocation and resource preemption operations are a major source of operating system failures. In this paper, a new fault detection technique based on dynamic kernel tracing is proposed. The fault source and fault type are determined by collecting kernel call stack and global state transition information. The fault detection technology is implemented as a loadable kernel module in Linux system, which can effectively collect kernel information without adding hardware or modifying the original system code. The experimental results of fault injection show that the proposed method can detect faults effectively, and the detection delay is smaller than the method based on timeout time and performance index. How to deal with these vulnerabilities is the subject of this article.
