VulPin: Finer-Grained Slicing for Pinpointing Vulnerability in Binary Programs: Precision in Vulnerability Detection: Advanced Slicing Techniques for Binary Program Analysis

Identifying vulnerabilities in binary code with precision is a critical area of study in the field of software security. Most existing techniques fail to pinpoint the vulnerability's exact location, due to the extensive labelled data requirement and lack of targeted approach to improve on the problematic code. In this paper, we introduce VulPin, a system specifically designed to pinpoint vulnerabilities in binary code. This framework uses a hierarchical attention network that analyze program slices along with a vulnerability position matrix. Experimental outcomes indicate that our framework not only outperforms existing approaches but also pinpoints vulnerabilities more rapidly with a high Accuracy and a very low rate of false positives.
