  • Runtime security and exception handler protection
    Patent number: 8959647
    Abstract: In various embodiments, redirection techniques can be utilized to protect against insecure functionality, to mitigate scripting vulnerabilities, and to protect vulnerable exception handlers. In at least some embodiments, a program can be protected from a security vulnerability by using a runtime shield which changes the behavior of the program while it is running. The shield effectively provides a redirection solution that addresses the vulnerability while, at the same time, does not alter the particular program's executable code.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 27, 2007
    Date of Patent: February 17, 2015
    Assignee: Microsoft Corporation
    Inventors: Justin Rogers, Eric M. Lawrence, Henry F. Bridge
  • Automatic vulnerability detection and response
    Patent number: 8453245
    Abstract: Various embodiments detect security vulnerabilities and, responsively, can modify an affected program so that even if an exploit runs, the program's integrity can be maintained. In at least some embodiments, a local automatic vulnerability detection and response (AVD/R) component executes on a user's local machine to detect and mitigate potential vulnerabilities through the use of a shield; and, a remote automatic vulnerability detection and response (AVD/R) component executes to report perceived vulnerabilities so that one or more shields can be delivered and applied locally to mitigate perceived vulnerabilities.
