"""On each step of the exploit, a filter will process each chunk one after the
other. Processing generally involves making some kind of operation either
on the chunk or in a destination chunk of the same size. Each operation is
applied on every single chunk; you cannot make PHP apply iconv on the first 10
chunks and leave the rest in place. That's where the difficulties come from.
Keep in mind that we know the address of the main heap, and the libraries.
ASLR/PIE do not matter here.
The idea is to use the bug to make the freelist for chunks of size 0x100 point
lower. For instance, we have the following free list: ... -> 0x7fffAABBCC900 -> 0x7fffAABBCCA00 -> 0x7fffAABBCCB00
By triggering the bug from chunk ..900, we get:
... -> 0x7fffAABBCCA00 -> 0x7fffAABBCCB48 -> ???
That's step 3.
Now, in order to control the free list, and make it point whereever we want,
we need to have previously put a pointer at address 0x7fffAABBCCB48. To do so,
we'd have to have allocated 0x7fffAABBCCB00 and set our pointer at offset 0x48.
That's step 2.
Now, if we were to perform step2 an then step3 without anything else, we'd have
a problem: after step2 has been processed, the free list goes bottom-up, like:
0x7fffAABBCCB00 -> 0x7fffAABBCCA00 -> 0x7fffAABBCC900 We need to go the other way around. That's why we have step 1: it just allocates
chunks. When they get freed, they reverse the free list. Now step2 allocates in
reverse order, and therefore after step2, chunks are in the correct order.
Another problem comes up.
To trigger the overflow in step3, we convert from UTF-8 to ISO-2022-CN-EXT.
Since step2 creates chunks that contain pointers and pointers are generally not
UTF-8, we cannot afford to have that conversion happen on the chunks of step2.
To avoid this, we put the chunks in step2 at the very end of the chain, and
prefix them with `0\n`. When dechunked (right before the iconv), they will
"disappear" from the chain, preserving them from the character set conversion
and saving us from an unwanted processing error that would stop the processing
chain.
After step3 we have a corrupted freelist with an arbitrary pointer into it. We
don't know the precise layout of the heap, but we know that at the top of the
heap resides a zend_mm_heap structure. We overwrite this structure in two ways.
Its free_slot[] array contains a pointer to each free list. By overwriting it,
we can make PHP allocate chunks whereever we want. In addition, its custom_heap
field contains pointers to hook functions for emalloc, efree, and erealloc
(similarly to malloc_hook, free_hook, etc. in the libc). We overwrite them and
then overwrite the use_custom_heap flag to make PHP use these function pointers
instead. We can now do our favorite CTF technique and get a call to
system(<chunk>).
We make sure that the "system" command kills the current process to avoid other
system() calls with random chunk data, leading to undefined behaviour.
The pad blocks just "pad" our allocations so that even if the heap of the
process is in a random state, we still get contiguous, in order chunks for our
exploit.
Therefore, the whole process described here CANNOT crash. Everything falls
perfectly in place, and nothing can get in the middle of our allocations.
