JNI and native libraries can improve performance while introducing memory-management risks. Managed-code checks do not automatically cover them.
Evaluation approach
Review bounds, lifetimes and native dependencies. Use supported diagnostic tools in development and test builds.
Application example
Exercise image-processing libraries with malformed and oversized inputs. Assess crash security impact rather than closing every case as a stability issue.
Limits and considerations
RASP is not a reliable substitute for fixing memory-corruption defects.
Separate mitigation from remediation
More runtime alerts may provide temporary risk reduction, but the underlying code still needs repair. After fixing it, verify safe failure on malformed input and correct behavior on normal input, and record the component version.
Checks and decisions
- Inventory native components
- Test boundary inputs
- Investigate crash causes
