계: Code Quality

코드 품질이 낮으면 예측할 수 없는 동작이 발생합니다. 사용자 입장에서는 사용 편의성이 떨어지는 것으로 나타나는 경우가 많습니다. 공격자에게는 예상치 못한 방법으로 시스템에 부담을 줄 수 있는 기회가 됩니다.

Memory Leak

Abstract
메모리가 할당된 후 해제되지 않습니다.
Explanation
Memory leak에는 다음 두 가지 일반적인 이유가 있으며 이 두 가지가 겹치는 경우도 있습니다.

- 오류 조건 및 기타 예외 상황.

- 프로그램의 어떤 부분이 메모리 해제를 담당하고 있는지에 대한 혼란.

대부분의 메모리 누출은 일반적으로 소프트웨어 신뢰도 문제를 일으키지만, 공격자가 의도적으로 메모리 누출을 일으키는 경우 프로그램을 중단하여 Denial of Service 공격을 실행하거나 메모리 부족 조건으로 인한 다른 예기치 못한 프로그램 동작을 이용할 수 있습니다 [1].

예제 1: 다음 C 함수는 read() 호출이 예상 바이트 수를 반환하지 않으면 할당된 메모리 블록을 누출합니다.


char* getBlock(int fd) {
char* buf = (char*) malloc(BLOCK_SIZE);
if (!buf) {
return NULL;
}
if (read(fd, buf, BLOCK_SIZE) != BLOCK_SIZE) {
return NULL;
}
return buf;
}

Abstract
메모리가 할당되지만 할당 해제되지 않습니다.
Explanation
메모리 누수에는 두 가지 일반적인 원인이 있으며 이러한 원인은 가끔 겹칩니다.

- 오류 조건 및 기타 예외 상황

- 프로그램의 어떤 부분이 메모리 할당 해제를 담당하고 있는지에 대한 혼란

대부분의 메모리 누수는 일반적인 소프트웨어 안정성 문제로 이어지지만 공격자가 의도적으로 메모리 누수를 유발할 수 있는 경우 공격자는 Denial of Service 공격을 시작하거나(프로그램 충돌을 야기하여) 메모리 부족 조건에서 비롯되는 다른 예기치 않은 프로그램 동작을 이용할 수 있습니다[1].

예제 1: 다음 Micro Focus COBOL 프로그램은 오류 발생 시 할당된 메모리 블록의 누수를 야기합니다.

END-IF

CALL "CBL_FREE_MEM"

Abstract
개체는 멤버 변수에 메모리를 할당하고 dealloc() 메서드에서 해제하지 못합니다.
Explanation
Memory leak에는 다음 두 가지 일반적인 이유가 있으며 이 두 가지가 겹치는 경우도 있습니다.

- 오류 조건 및 기타 예외 상황.

- 프로그램의 어떤 부분이 메모리 해제를 담당하고 있는지에 대한 혼란.

예제 1: Objective-C 개체는 init() 메서드에서 메모리를 할당하지만 deallocate() 메서드에서 해제하지 못하여 이로 인해 memory leak이 발생합니다.


- (void)init
{
myVar = [NSString alloc] init];
...
}

- (void)dealloc
{
[otherVar release];
}
