Description

ABSTRACT:
One or more specified system calls of a running process are trapped in kernel space from user space. While the process is stopped, information associated with the process is read and a security analysis is performed on the information to determine whether malicious code activity is detected, such as a buffer overflow. If malicious code activity is detected, protective action is taken, such as killing the specified system call. Otherwise, if malicious code activity is not detected, the specified system call is restarted.
