| 2025 | SwiftSweeper: Defeating Use-After-Free Bugs Using Memory Sweeper Without Stop-the-WorldabstractUse-after-free (UAF) vulnerabilities pose severe security risks in memory-unsafe languages like C and C++. To mitigate these issues, prior work has employed memory sweeping, inspired by conservative garbage collection. However, such approaches inherit key limitations, including stop-the-world pauses, poor scalability, and high CPU usage, rendering them unsuitable for modern, latency-sensitive applications. This paper presents SwiftSweeper, a secure memory allocator designed to prevent UAF vulnerabilities in unmodified binaries. SwiftSweeper reimagines memory sweeping by eliminating stop-the-world pauses and enhancing scalability to support high-performance C and C++ workloads. It features an efficient and secure in-kernel data path, implemented using eBPF (XMP, eXpress Memory Path), and a co-designed user-level allocator and kernel. We implement SwiftSweeper on Linux and demonstrate that it delivers state-of-the-art performance, memory efficiency, and minimal latency overhead across both single-threaded and multi-threaded applications, including SPEC CPU and WebServer benchmarks.
