Demonstrating binary exploitation with a recent vulnerability
Binary exploitation is a common attack method in memory unsafe programs. Some might think binary exploitation is old news and rarely happens, but that’s wrong - it is highly relevant and common even in 2021! Marit and Christian introduce the concept of binary exploitation with code examples. They demonstrate how to exploit a recent vulnerability in Sudo by explaining the vulnerability and the exploit, and running it live! Then they will demonstrate ways to detect and prevent memory corruption vulnerabilities in your software.
