The Info Leak Era on Software Exploitation

Explore advanced software exploitation techniques in this Black Hat USA 2012 conference talk. Delve into the era of information leaks and their impact on defeating Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). Learn why ASLR is crucial for preventing reliable exploitation and how other mitigations fall short without it. Discover various methods for converting vulnerabilities into information leaks, including partial stack overflows, heap overflows with heap massaging, and object manipulation through non-virtual calls. Examine real-world examples, such as CVE-2012-0769, and understand how to transform information leaks into Universal Cross-Site Scripting (UXSS) attacks. Gain insights into continuous distribution, element creation, and object reclamation techniques. Enhance your understanding of software security and exploitation strategies through this comprehensive presentation.
