ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for transferring a privilege to a module. In one embodiment, a set of privileges required to initiate execution of code associated with the software module is identified to form enhanced privileges. The application is frozen. The enhanced privileges are unassigned to the application and the application has insufficient privileges to initiate execution of code associated with the software module. The software module is loaded into available application address space associated with the application. The enhanced privileges are transferred to the application. Execution of the application is unsuspended and the code associated with the software module is executed within the application.
