Capec-448 Detail
Embed Virus into DLL
Detailed Software Likelihood: Medium Typical Severity: High
Parents: 442
Threats: T79 T287 T337 T391 T406
An adversary tampers with a DLL and embeds a computer virus into gaps between legitimate machine instructions. These gaps may be the result of compiler optimizations that pad memory blocks for performance gains. The embedded virus then attempts to infect any machine which interfaces with the product, and possibly steal private data or eavesdrop.
