# Exploit Title: Mini-XML 3.2 - Heap Overflow
# Google Dork: mxml Mini-xml Mini-XML
# Date: 2020.10.19
# Exploit Author: LIWEI
# Vendor Homepage:  https://www.msweet.org/mxml/
# Software Link: https://github.com/michaelrsweet/mxml
# Version: v3.2
# Tested on: ubuntu 18.04.2

# 1.- compile the Mini-XML code to a library use compile line"clang -g -O0 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -gline-tables-only -fsanitize=address -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope -fsanitize=fuzzer-no-link".
# 2.- compile my testcase and link them to a binary use compile line "clang -g -O0 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -gline-tables-only -fsanitize=address -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope -fsanitize=fuzzer". In my testcase, I use the API "mxmlLoadString" to parse a string.
# 3.- run the binary for a short time.crash. because the "mxml_string_getc" didn't versify the  string's length and cause buffer-overflow.
# 4.- Here are the crash backtrace.
