Description
Abstract—GPUs are a fundamental component of most high
computing environments available nowadays, being a general
solution to various purposes that range from scientific solutions
designed as software applications to clusters that hold and process
sensitive data. In this paper we focus on Buffer Overflow attacks
and memory vulnerability analysis with the intention to prove
that given special circumstances the stack and heap zones are
susceptible to memory overflow due to a lack of protection
mechanisms.
Index Terms—GPU, GPGPU, Buffer Overflow, CUDA, Stack
Overflow, Heap overflow, Memory Leaks
