About the Talk
Vulnerability becomes a major threat to the security of many systems, including computer systems (e.g., Windows and Linux) and mobile systems (e.g., Android and iOS). Attackers can steal private information and perform harmful actions by exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities often remain undetected for a long time as they may not affect typical systems’ functionalities. Furthermore, it is often difficult for a developer to repair a vulnerability correctly if he/she is not a security expert. Fortunately, automatic repair approaches significantly assist developers to deal with different types of vulnerabilities. There are lots of work to detect different vulnerabilities, and only few vulnerability repair approaches are proposed to repair some types of vulnerabilities.
