Abstract
Although researchers have proposed several software approaches to preventing buffer overflow attacks, adversaries still extensively exploit this vulnerability. A microarchitecture-based, software-transparent mechanism offers protection against stack-based buffer overflow attacks with moderate hardware cost and negligible performance overhead
