Abstract
Bad error handling is the cause of many service outages.
We address this problem by a novel approach to detect and
patch bad error handling automatically. Our approach uses
error injection to detect bad error handling and static anal-
ysis of binary code to determine which type of patch can be
instantiated. We describe several measurements regarding
the effectiveness of our approach to detect and patch bad
error handling in several open source programs.
