Description

Simple shell-like file management system.

Feature List

``` list [file ..] - Lists files and directories.

create - Creates a file.

open - Opens a file.

close - Closes an open file.

close_all - Closes all open files.

read [pos] [len] - Reads a file.

modify [pos] - Modifies a file.

delete - Deletes a file.

mkdir - Creates a directory.

rmdir - Deletes a directory.

chdir - Changes the working directory.

quit - Quits the program.

help [command] - Displays the help message. ```

Vulnerability

  • When deleting a file, the file object pointer is not removed from the list that keeps track of currently opened files.
  • This yields a dangling pointer when a file is deleted while it's opened.
  • By allocating similar-sized buffer by writing into another file, it is possible to take over the memory for the dangling pointer -- allowing Use-After-Free condition.
  • Arbitrary code execution can be achieved by triggering a virtual function in the file object after carefully setting up the payload.
