Abstract: A particular portion of a program which can be read from on-disk representations of the program as well as from memory images of the program is identified for use as a version discriminator. A first representation of the portion may be obtained from a first memory image of the program, corresponding to a first running instance of the program. The first representation may be compared to a second representation obtained at a development environment. Based on the results of the comparison, a particular version of the program corresponding to the first running instance may be identified. An indication of the particular version may be stored.

Abstract: Systems and processes for managing memory compression security to mitigate security risks related to compressed memory page access are disclosed herein. A system for managing memory compression security includes a system memory and a memory manager. The system memory includes an uncompressed region configured to store a plurality of uncompressed memory pages and a compressed region configured to store a plurality of compressed memory pages. The memory manager identifies a memory page in the uncompressed region of the system memory as a candidate for compression and estimate a decompression time for a compressed version of the identified memory page. The memory manager determines whether the estimated decompression time is less than a constant decompression time. The memory manager, based on a determination that the estimated decompression time is less than the constant decompression time, compresses the memory page and writes the compressed memory page in the compressed region.
