Two graduate students from UC San Diego’s computer science department—Erik Buchanan and Ryan Roemer—have just published work showing that the process of building bad programs from good code using “return-oriented programming” can be automated and that this vulnerability applies to RISC computer architectures and not just the x86 architecture (which includes the vast majority of personal...

Two graduate students from UC-San Diego, Erik Buchanan and Ryan Roemer, have published a paper demonstrating that the process of creating an existing, known form of computer virus can be automated much more easily than was previously thought. Application of a concept known as "return-oriented programming" allow even properly written programs to be taken over completely, thereby becoming...
