Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for protecting application stacks. In particular, the method includes: designating, by an operating system (OS) module, an additional stack dummy to an application stack in connection with a micro control unit (MCU); generating, by the MCU, an interrupt by recognizing, through the stack dummy, whether the application stack overflows; and performing, by the OS module, a measure of protection for the overflowed application stack according to whether the interrupt is generated.
