By: J. Gionta n, W. Enck n & P. Larsen*

Event: IEEE

TL;DR: This paper proposes KHide, a system that thwarts kernel code-reuse attacks by combining fine-grained software diversity techniques and memory disclosure protection, and implements KHide for the Linux kernel, showing that KHide provides comprehensive protection against the threat ofkernel code- reuse with acceptable performance impact.
