Buffer overlow vulnerabilities in CUDA: a preliminary analysis

Miele, Andrea  
2015
Journal of Computer Virology and Hacking Techniques

We present a preliminary study of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in CUDA software running on GPUs. We show how an attacker can overrun a buffer to corrupt sensitive data or steer the execution flow by overwriting function pointers, e.g., manipulating the virtual table of a C++ object. In view of a potential mass market diffusion of GPU accelerated software this may be a major concern.
