Title:Hardware-based stack buffer overflow attack detection on RISC-V architectures
View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:This work evaluates how well hardware-based approaches detect stack buffer overflow (SBO) attacks in RISC-V systems. We conducted simulations on the PULP platform and examined micro-architecture events using semi-supervised anomaly detection techniques. The findings showed the challenge of detection performance. Thus, a potential solution combines software and hardware-based detectors concurrently, with hardware as the primary defense. The hardware-based approaches present compelling benefits that could enhance RISC-V-based architectures.
