Abstract
A system for detecting and halting execution of malicious code includes a kernel-based system call interposition mechanism and a libc function interception mechanism. The kernel-based system call interposition mechanism detects a system call request from an application, determines a memory region from which the system call request emanates, and halts execution of the code responsible for the call request if the memory region from which the system call request emanates is a data memory region. The libc function interception mechanism maintains an alternative wrapper function for each of the relevant standard libc routines, intercepts a call from an application to one or more libc routines and redirects the call into the corresponding alternative wrapper function.
