MIT's CSAIL has introduced 'Oreo,' an advanced method aimed at mitigating hardware attacks that exploit weaknesses in the defense mechanism of Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR). ASLR scrambles program instructions to obscure their locations, but hackers have successfully bypassed it using microarchitectural side attacks. These attacks analyze hardware-level memory access patterns. Oreo enhances ASLR's effectiveness by erasing traces that attackers could exploit, thereby providing a stronger defense against increasingly sophisticated threats in the digital landscape.
Researchers at the MIT CSAIL have developed a method called 'Oreo' to enhance security against hardware attacks, improving the effectiveness of ASLR.
Oreo aims to make traces from program instructions vanish, addressing vulnerabilities that hackers exploit through microarchitectural side attacks.
