Abstract
Input is received during runtime of a program. The input is a return instruction address of a called function and a return target address of the program. A determination is made whether the instruction immediately prior to the return target address is a call to the called function. If the instruction immediately prior to the return target address is not a call to the called function, a notification is transmitted that return-oriented programming is suspected.
