📜 Video Description:
Bypassing ASLR without leaking a memory address? By utilizing a partial instruction pointer overwrite this exploitation technique becomes possible. What do we mean by that? We are talking about overwriting a portion of the return address.
So far, the goal every time was to completely overwrite the return address, which led to full control over the instruction pointer (EIP/RIP, depending on the architecture) when writing binary exploits.
Alternatively, one could also overwrite just parts of the return address, leading to partial control over the instruction pointer.
There are two reasons why an attacker might do this:
1) Because of limitations, controlling the whole RIP is impossible.
2) There is no info leak that could be used to bypass ASLR
Interestingly, different technologies or architectures use different kinds of endianness in certain situations. Modern computers use little-endian when working e.g. with memory and CPU registers. Because of that, a buffer long enough to exploit a buffer overflow will first overwrite the "last" byte of the return address.
