Just-in-Time (JIT) Exploits
Attacks that target vulnerabilities in just-in-time compiled code.
Understanding JIT Exploits
JIT exploits take advantage of the dynamic code generation and optimization processes in JIT compilers to execute malicious code or bypass security controls.
Types of JIT Exploits
By Target
Browser JIT
JavaScript engine
Virtual machine JIT
Runtime compiler
By Technique
Type confusion
Spraying attacks
Optimization bugs
Memory corruption
Challenges and Considerations
Performance impact
Detection difficulty
Complex mitigation
Update management
Compatibility issues
These security concepts require continuous monitoring and updating as new exploitation techniques and protection methods emerge. Understanding them is crucial for maintaining robust security in modern computing environments.
