Abstract
An apparatus for controlling an execution of a binary code by multiple threads includes a detection unit configured to detect an occurrence of modification of a first part that is a part of a first binary code by a self-modifying code; a specifying unit configured to specify a second part that is a part corresponding to the first part in a second binary code acquired by converting the first binary code, in response to detection of the occurrence of modification of the first part by the self-modifying code; and a correction unit configured to correct the second part such that a specific thread that executes the second part of the second binary code among the multiple threads causes an exception.
