Query: Generalizing Permissive-Upgrade in Dynamic Information Flow Analysis   Preventing implicit information flows by dynamic program analysis requires
coarse approximations that result in false positives, because a dynamic monitor
sees only the executed trace of the program. One widely deployed method is the
no-sensitive-upgrade check, which terminates a program whenever a variable's
taint is upgraded (made more sensitive) due to a control dependence on tainted
data. Although sound, this method is restrictive, e.g., it terminates the
program even if the upgraded variable is never used subsequently. To counter
this, Austin and Flanagan introduced the permissive-upgrade check, which allows
a variable upgrade due to control dependence, but marks the variable
"partially-leaked". The program is stopped later if it tries to use the
partially-leaked variable. Permissive-upgrade handles the dead-variable
assignment problem and remains sound. However, Austin and Flanagan develop
permissive-upgrade only for a two-point (low-high) security lattice and
indicate a generalization to pointwise products of such lattices. In this
paper, we develop a non-trivial and non-obvious generalization of
permissive-upgrade to arbitrary lattices. The key difficulty lies in finding a
suitable notion of partial leaks that is both sound and permissive and in
developing a suitable definition of memory equivalence that allows an inductive
proof of soundness.
