Facebook awards Tech researchers $100,000 for vulnerability discovery tool for C++

The Georgia Tech group discovered a new class of C++ vulnerabilities that are online window-based. Dynamic casts are checked at runtime for correctness, but they also incur a performance overhead. That pointer can then be used to corrupt the memory of the process. This, in turn can lead to bad-casting or pop in-confusion susceptibilities. Hence, the group also developed CaVeR, a runtime based bad-casting detection tool. The findings and introduction of the new tool are further detailed in their research paper....
