20100031355 | UNVALIDATED PRIVILEGE CAP - A method for securely accessing an executable file object includes a step in which a request from the target process to access the executable file object is received by an operating system component, and the object is examined for validity before access is allowed. For objects that cannot be validated, the process is run with privileges bounded by the privilege cap, if the privilege cap permits execution of the object. | 02-04-2010 |
20100070775 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING MODIFIED PAGES - A method for validating program execution. The method involves identifying a program from a second computer system, obtaining, by a first computer system, a first copy of a page for a file of the program from a second computer system, calculating a hash value for the first copy, storing the first copy in a local memory of the first computer system, storing the hash value for the first copy, and executing the program on the first computer system, where the first copy is removed from the local memory during execution of the program. The method further involves obtaining a second copy of the page from the second computer system, calculating a hash for the second copy, determining whether the hash value for the first copy is equal to the hash value for the second copy, and performing an appropriate action in response to the determination. | 03-18-2010 |
20100088496 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EXECUTING AN EXECUTABLE FILE - A method for executing an executable file. The method includes executing instructions in the executable file by a first process, receiving a write request from a second process to write to the executable file, generating an anonymous file from the executable file in response to the write request, executing the anonymous file by the first process, and accessing the executable file by the second process. | 04-08-2010 |
20140297696 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EXECUTING AN EXECUTABLE FILE - A method for executing an executable file. The method includes executing instructions in the executable file by a first process, receiving a write request from a second process to write to the executable file, generating an anonymous file from the executable file in response to the write request, executing the anonymous file by the first process, and accessing the executable file by the second process. | 10-02-2014 |
