Abstract :
Buffer overflow vulnerabilities are currently the most prevalent security vulnerability. The paper presents a method that combines static analysis with dynamic test to deal with the problem on buffer overflow vulnerabilities detecting. By using the method we can identify potential weakness locations. A buffer overflow vulnerabilities testing system was developed. The experiment results tested and verified that the new methodology is feasibility and availability.
