Patent number: 11010479Abstract: A system includes a memory system and a processing system operably coupled to the memory system. The memory system includes a plurality of address spaces. The processing system is configured to perform operations including creating a data space from within a primary address space and a primary address space number access list entry referencing the data space. An unauthorized caller routine in a home address space configured to issue a service request including an address space-switching program call from the home address space to a program call target routine in the primary address space. The address space-switching program call references the primary address space number access list entry in the primary address space. A vulnerability identifier associated with the program call target routine is created and logged based on one or more conditions indicative of a cross-memory integrity violation detected responsive to the service request.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Bryan Childs, Peter Relson, Karl D.

Patent number: 10915640Abstract: A system includes a memory system and a processing system operably coupled to the memory system. The processing system is configured to perform operations including setting a target register to point to a first protected storage location of the memory system resulting in a protection exception upon access, calling an authorized service, and confirming that the authorized service uses the target register based on detecting the protection exception. The target register is adjusted to point to a parameter list including one or more known values and a pointer to a second protected storage location resulting in the protection exception upon access to confirm use of a value of the parameter list responsive to calling the authorized service. Parameter list testing and target register testing is repeated for locations in the parameter list and target registers to construct a testing profile for vulnerability testing of the authorized service.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Michael P.

Publication number: 20140082099Abstract: In a method for notifying an owner or other rightful user of a mobile device of a misplaced mobile device, a computer receives social networking information about the rightful user of the mobile device. The computer receives, from the mobile device, a set of contextual information that is associated with the mobile device. The computer determines, based on the set of contextual information, whether the mobile device has been misplaced. In response to the computer determining that the mobile device has been misplaced, the computer dynamically identifies, based on the set of contextual information and on the social networking information, one or more contacts associated with the rightful user. In response to the computer determining that the mobile device has been misplaced, the computer sends a notification message to the identified one or more contacts. The notification message indicates that the rightful user's mobile device has been misplaced.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2012Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Zachary Burns, Yuk Lung Chan, Kin Choi, David J.B.

Patent number: 7867687Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a non-chemically amplified photoresist, which results in reduced line wide roughness (LWR). In accordance with one embodiment the photoresist includes a developer-soluble resin (DSR) and a photoactive compound (PAC). For one embodiment of the invention, the even distribution of the PAC within the DSR results in reduced acid diffusion thus reducing LWR. Prior to exposure to the light source, the PAC inhibits solubility of the DSR in the developer. Upon exposure the PAC converts to acid to promote solubility of the DSR. The even distribution of the PAC within the photoresist results in reduced LWR and a reduction in defects. For one embodiment the photoresist is applied in the EUV technology (e.g., wavelength is 13.4 nm). For such an embodiment the LWR may be reduced to less than 1.5 nm allowing for effective fabrication of devices having feature sizes of approximately 15 nm.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2003Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Wang Yueh, Huey-Chiang Liou, Hai Deng, Hok-Kin Choi
