A Survey on Windows Component Loading Vulnerabilities
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Engineering & Technology(IJARCET) - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Dynamic loading is a mechanism by which a computer program can, at run time, load a library memory, retrieve the addresses of functions and variables contained in library, execute those functions, and unload the library from memory. Unlike static linking and load time linking, this mechanism allows a computer program to startup in the absence of those libraries, to discover available libraries, and potentially gain additional functionality. Operating systems generally provide two resolution methods, by specifying the full path or the filename of the target component. This common component resolution strategy has an inherent security problem. As only a file name is given, unintended or malicious files with the same file name can be resolved instead. Therefore this paper presents the various vulnerabilities and work related to dynamic component loading vulnerabilities
