Abstract

An approach is presented for the detection of software vulnerabilities using the widely known SPIN model checker. Classes of vulnerabilities in C programs that can be detected using the presented approach are discussed. We present the results of experiments on detecting vulnerabilities in student-made software tools implementing array processing algorithms.
