Abstract

In order to solve the high cost and low efficiency of buffer overflow detection in software development due to the influence of variable changes, this paper proposed a method for analyzing the impact of unsafe function calls based on data topology, this method analyzed the impact of variable changes on unsafe function calls with the granularity of variable and path. Extracted information such as variable definitions, references, variable reference, variable dependency, unsafe function calls information and function calls relationship by statically analyzing source code to build a variable dependency set, analyzed data topology of changed variables, and combined distribution of variables in the stack to obtain the variable impact domain. It established a variable impact analysis model by combining function call relations information to obtain path domain. Finally it obtained the influence of variable changes on unsafe function calls according to the variable impact domain and path impact domain. Experimental results show that this method is more accurate in defining the impact of variable changes on unsafe function calls. This method has high comprehensibility and usability, can effectively improve the accuracy and efficiency of software regression testing.
