| <h2>Abstract:</h2> |
| <blockquote> |
| The OSGi framework is a Java-based, centralized, component oriented |
| platform. It is being widely adopted as an execution environment for |
| the development of extensible applications. However, current Java |
| Virtual Machines are unable to isolate components from each other. |
| For instance, a malicious component can freeze the complete platform |
| by allocating too much memory or alter the behavior of other components by |
| modifying shared variables. |
| |
| This paper presents I-JVM, a Java Virtual Machine that provides a |
| lightweight approach to isolation while preserving compatibility with |
| legacy OSGi applications. Our evaluation of I-JVM shows that it solves |
| the 8 known OSGi vulnerabilities that are due to the Java Virtual |
| Machine and that the overhead of I-JVM compared to the JVM on which |
| it is based is below 20%. |
