What is it about?
Address-Sensitive Behavior (ASB) is one of the main reasons why Multi-Variant Execution (MVX) has not been adopted in the real world. In this work we try to shine more light on the issue, by doing an extensive study on previously encountered cases of Address-Sensitive Behavior. We also explore possible mitigation strategies.

Why is it important?
Solving the ASB issue is paramount for real-world adoption of MVX.
Perspectives
Read this article if you want to understand more about ASB, and why it is a problem for MVX systems. We shine light on the root causes of the problem. In addition, we develop a mechanism to aid developers in finding ASB sources, making manual refactoring easier.
