What is it about?

This paper explores computer security vulnerabilities that are generated inadvertently by a compiler. By using a novel approach of examining the assembly language and other intermediate files generated by the compilation process, it has been successfully demonstrated that the compiler’s processing of the high level source code can create a vulnerable end-product. This research examined both the open source GNU GCC compiler and the Microsoft C/C++ compiler that is part of the Microsoft Visual Studio package.
