Abstract
Embodiments protect computer applications from code injection attacks. An example embodiment includes a runtime memory protection (RMP) user endpoint agent and an RMP kernel driver component. The RMP user endpoint agent receives, from the RMP kernel driver component, representations of events occurring with respect to memory locations associated with a computer application and processes the received representations to determine if a given event includes at least one of a memory permissions change request, a memory write request, and a thread create request. If the given event is determined to include at least one of a memory permissions change request, a memory write request, and a thread create request, the RMP user endpoint agent declares a code injection attack and sends an alarm indication to the RMP kernel driver component. In response to receiving the alarm indication, the RMP kernel driver component implements a protection action.
