About this paper
Laboni Sarker, Shuvendu K Lahiri
DeepDiff checks whether security patches preserve behavior beyond stopping a crash. It compares patched and original programs on non-crashing inputs, using dynamic, neural, and hybrid methods to find divergences. On 385 C/C++ patches, differential checking raises incorrect-patch recall from 6% to 64%, with 18% false alarms among developer or equivalent patches.
