Abstract
In various embodiments, redirection techniques can be utilized to protect against insecure functionality, to mitigate scripting vulnerabilities, and to protect vulnerable exception handlers. In at least some embodiments, a program can be protected from a security vulnerability by using a runtime shield which changes the behavior of the program while it is running. The shield effectively provides a redirection solution that addresses the vulnerability while, at the same time, does not alter the particular program's executable code.
