Abstract

A computer-implemented method is provided for detecting compiler-injected security flaws. The computer-implemented method includes receiving source code, compiling the source code, reverse engineering the compiled source code, comparing operations performed by the source code and the reverse engineered source code, identifying differences between the source code and the reverse engineered source code, and creating a list of differences. The list of differences includes operations that are present in the source code and missing from binary code. Alternatively, the list of differences includes operations that are present in binary code and missing from the source code.
