Memory-unsafe programming languages, such as C/C++, are often used to develop system programs, rendering the programs susceptible to a variety of memory corruption attacks. Among these threats, just-in-time return-oriented programming (JIT-ROP) stands out as an advanced method for conducting code-re...
