This report presents the results of the mini-grant research project. It explores a possible explanation on why buffer overflows, format strings and other memory related vulnerabilities are still prevalent today. It is argued that this can be attributed to the required level of user interaction to apply today's solutions. Therefore, the researched solution was a hardware based instruction level mandatory access control mechanism that will be enabled by default whenever ...
