We propose CanaryExp, an exploitability evaluation solution for vulnerabilities among binary programs protected by StackGuard. CanaryExp devises three novel techniques, namely canary leakage proof of concept generation, canary leaking analysis time exploitation, and dynamic canary-relocation-based exploitability evaluation. The canary leakage proof of concept input generation mechanism first traces the target program’s execution, transforming the execution state into some canary leaking state, from which some canary leaking input is derived. This input can be deemed as proof that some vulnerability that can lead to canary leakage exists. The canary leaking analysis time exploit generation then performs incremental analysis based on the canary leaking input, crafting analysis time exploit that can complete vulnerability exploitation in the analysis time environment. Based on the analysis time exploit, the dynamic canary-relocation-based exploitability evaluation component collects the necessary metadata, on which an exploitation session is automatically constructed that can not only leak the runtime canary and relocate it in the input stream but also evaluate the exploitability of the desired vulnerability. Using a benchmark containing six test programs, eight challenges from some network challenging events and four real-world applications, we demonstrate that CanaryExp can generate canary leaking samples more effectively than existing test case generation methods and automatically evaluate the exploitability for vulnerabilities among programs where the StackGuard protection mechanism is deployed. |
