arbitrary-write-to-rce

To convert an arbitrary write to code execution, you overwrite function pointers in exploitable target locations like the GOT, hooks, or TLS_dtor_list. This Skill guides you through selecting the right overwrite target based on the specific glibc version and active protections.

For arbitrary write exploitation post-glibc 2.34, the TLS_dtor_list is the recommended target since traditional hooks were removed. This Skill provides detailed techniques for overwriting TLS_dtor_list entries to successfully achieve code execution in modern environments.

A GOT overwrite works by replacing function pointers in the Global Offset Table to redirect execution flow. This Skill explains how to leverage arbitrary write primitives to modify GOT entries, hijacking function calls to execute your chosen code.

Yes, you need foundational knowledge of binary exploitation and reverse engineering to use this Skill effectively. It provides expert techniques for targeting overwriteable locations, but assumes the user can already identify and manipulate arbitrary write primitives.

Targeting __malloc_hook or __free_hook depends on the application's memory operations and the glibc version, as these hooks exist only in versions prior to 2.34. This Skill helps you select the appropriate hook based on your specific target environment and available execution triggers.
