  • Vulnerability analysis of a computer driver
    Patent number: 11934534
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for analyzing a program to be executed on a computer to detect vulnerability for malicious attacks using the program. One method includes an operation for performing dynamic vulnerability detection of a driver when the driver is loaded in a computing system. The dynamic vulnerability detection comprises detecting at least one offset made available by the driver for access to the driver, and detecting application programming interface (API) calls made by the driver. Further, the method includes performing static vulnerability detection of the driver by analyzing binary code of the driver. The static vulnerability detection comprises determining the at least one offset available for access to the driver, and identifying vulnerable code paths to functions accessing kernel functionality.
