Abstract :
On the basis of analyzing the safety formulas for various types of vulnerabilities, this paper presents a novel method for software vulnerability testing, which uses source-code conversion and the state information of function-call to test the vulnerability of software. This method could cover a variety of vulnerabilities. The implementation shows that it can check the attack of buffer overflow accurately, on the occasions of no large losses in performance.
