Formal Characterization of Illegal Control Flow in Android System
Résumé
The dynamic taint analysis mechanism is used to protect sensitive data in the Android system. But this technique does not detect control flows which can cause an under-tainting problem. This means that some values should be marked as tainted, but are not. The under-tainting problem can be the cause of a failure to detect a leak of sensitive information. To solve this problem, we use a set of formally defined rules that describes the taint propagation. We prove the completeness of these rules. Also, we provide a correct and complete algorithm based on these rules to solve the under-tainting problem.
