Securing GPU via region-based bounds checking
Graphics processing units (GPUs) have become essential general-purpose computing platforms to accelerate a wide range of workloads, such as deep learning, scientific, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. However, recent memory corruption attacks, such as buffer overflow, exposed security vulnerabilities in GPUs. We demonstrate that out-of-bounds writes are reproducible on an Nvidia GPU, which can enable other security attacks.
