DeFiAligner: Leveraging Symbolic Analysis and Large Language Models for Inconsistency Detection in Decentralized Finance

Authors: Rundong Gan, Liyi Zhou, Le Wang, Kaihua Qin, and Xiaodong Lin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 316, 6th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2024)


Abstract
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has witnessed a monumental surge, reaching 53.039 billion USD in total value locked. As this sector continues to expand, ensuring the reliability of DeFi smart contracts becomes increasingly crucial. While some users are adept at reading code or the compiled bytecode to understand smart contracts, many rely on documentation. Therefore, discrepancies between the documentation and the deployed code can pose significant risks, whether these discrepancies are due to errors or intentional fraud. To tackle these challenges, we developed DeFiAligner, an end-to-end system to identify inconsistencies between documentation and smart contracts. DeFiAligner incorporates a symbolic execution tool, SEVM, which explores execution paths of on-chain binary code, recording memory and stack states. It automatically generates symbolic expressions for token balance changes and branch conditions, which, along with related project documents, are processed by LLMs. Using structured prompts, the LLMs evaluate the alignment between the symbolic expressions and the documentation. Our tests across three distinct scenarios demonstrate DeFiAligner’s capability to automate inconsistency detection in DeFi, achieving recall rates of 92% and 90% on two public datasets respectively.

HOBBIT: Hashed OBject Based InTegrity

Authors: Matthias Bernad and Stefan Brunthaler

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 313, 38th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2024)


Abstract
C vulnerabilities usually hold verbatim for C++ programs. The counterfeit-object-oriented programming attack demonstrated that this relation is asymmetric, i.e., it only applies to C++. The problem pinpointed by this COOP attack is that C++ does not validate the integrity of its objects. By injecting malicious objects with manipulated virtual function table pointers, attackers can hijack control-flow of programs. The software security community addressed the COOP-problem in the years following its discovery, but together with the emergence of transient-execution attacks, such as Spectre, researchers also shifted their attention. We present Hobbit, a software-only solution to prevent COOP attacks by validating object integrity for virtual function pointer tables. Hobbit does not require any hardware specific features, scales to multi-million lines of C++ source code, and our LLVM-based implementation offers a configurable performance impact between 121.63% and 2.80% on compute-intensive SPEC CPU C++ benchmarks. Hobbit’s security analysis indicates strong resistance to brute forcing attacks and demonstrates additional benefits of using execute-only memory.

Enhancing MaxSAT Local Search via a Unified Soft Clause Weighting Scheme

Authors: Yi Chu, Chu-Min Li, Furong Ye, and Shaowei Cai

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 305, 27th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2024)


Abstract
Local search has been widely applied to solve the well-known (weighted) partial MaxSAT problem, significantly influencing many real-world applications. The main difficulty to overcome when designing a local search algorithm is that it can easily fall into local optima. Clause weighting is a beneficial technique that dynamically adjusts the landscape of search space to help the algorithm escape from local optima. Existing works tend to increase the weights of falsified clauses, and such strategies may result in an unpredictable landscape of search space during the optimization process. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a Unified Soft Clause Weighting Scheme called Unified-SW, which increases the weights of all soft clauses in feasible local optima, whether they are satisfied or not, while preserving the hierarchy among them. We implemented Unified-SW in a new local search solver called USW-LS. Experimental results demonstrate that USW-LS, outperforms the state-of-the-art local search solvers across benchmarks from anytime tracks of recent MaxSAT Evaluations. More promisingly, a hybrid solver combining USW-LS and TT-Open-WBO-Inc won all four categories in the anytime track of MaxSAT Evaluation 2023.

Targeted Branching for the Maximum Independent Set Problem Using Graph Neural Networks

Authors: Kenneth Langedal, Demian Hespe, and Peter Sanders

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 301, 22nd International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2024)


Abstract
Identifying a maximum independent set is a fundamental NP-hard problem. This problem has several real-world applications and requires finding the largest possible set of vertices not adjacent to each other in an undirected graph. Over the past few years, branch-and-bound and branch-and-reduce algorithms have emerged as some of the most effective methods for solving the problem exactly. Specifically, the branch-and-reduce approach, which combines branch-and-bound principles with reduction rules, has proven particularly successful in tackling previously unmanageable real-world instances. This progress was largely made possible by the development of more effective reduction rules. Nevertheless, other key components that can impact the efficiency of these algorithms have not received the same level of interest. Among these is the branching strategy, which determines which vertex to branch on next. Until recently, the most widely used strategy was to choose the vertex of the highest degree. In this work, we present a graph neural network approach for selecting the next branching vertex. The intricate nature of current branch-and-bound solvers makes supervised and reinforcement learning difficult. Therefore, we use a population-based genetic algorithm to evolve the model’s parameters instead. Our proposed approach results in a speedup on 73% of the benchmark instances with a median speedup of 24%.

Current and Future Challenges in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 22282)

Authors: James P. Delgrande, Birte Glimm, Thomas Meyer, Miroslaw Truszczynski, and Frank Wolter

Published in: Dagstuhl Manifestos, Volume 10, Issue 1 (2024)


Abstract
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning is a central, longstanding, and active area of Artificial Intelligence. Over the years it has evolved significantly; more recently it has been challenged and complemented by research in areas such as machine learning and reasoning under uncertainty. In July 2022,sser a Dagstuhl Perspectives workshop was held on Knowledge Representation and Reasoning. The goal of the workshop was to describe the state of the art in the field, including its relation with other areas, its shortcomings and strengths, together with recommendations for future progress. We developed this manifesto based on the presentations, panels, working groups, and discussions that took place at the Dagstuhl Workshop. It is a declaration of our views on Knowledge Representation: its origins, goals, milestones, and current foci; its relation to other disciplines, especially to Artificial Intelligence; and on its challenges, along with key priorities for the next decade.

VCDC: The Virtualized Complicated Device Controller

Authors: Zhe Jiang and Neil Audsley

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 76, 29th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2017)


Abstract
I/O virtualization enables time and space multiplexing of I/O devices, by mapping multiple logical I/O devices upon a smaller number of physical devices. However, due to the existence of additional virtualization layers, requesting an I/O from a guest virtual machine requires complicated sequences of operations. This leads to I/O performance losses, and makes precise timing of I/O operations unpredictable. This paper proposes a hardware I/O virtualization system, termed the Virtualized Complicated Device Controller (VCDC). This I/O system allows user applications to access and operate I/O devices directly from guest VMs, and bypasses the guest OS, the Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) and low layer I/O drivers. We show that the VCDC efficiently reduces the software overhead and enhances the I/O performance and timing predictability. Furthermore, VCDC also exhibits good scalability that can handle I/O requests from variable number of CPUs in a system.
