| Summary: | Current automatic exploit generation solutions generally adopt an 1-step exploit generation philosophy and neglect the potential difference between analysis-time environment and runtime environment. Therefore, they usually fail in evaluating exploitability for vulnerable programs running in an ASLR environment. We propose ExpGen, a 2-step vulnerability-exploitability evaluation solution for binary programs running in an ASLR environment, with three novel techniques introduced, separately partial-exploit sensitive-POC generation, exploitation context sensitive analysis-time exploit generation, and runtime exploit relocation. ExpGen firstly generates an analysis-time exploit that can carry out all the desired exploitation steps through applying the first two techniques in an iterative manner, then dynamically gaps the address-space layout differences between the analysis-time environment and runtime environment by adopting the runtime exploit-relocation technique, making the analysis-time exploit dynamically adaptable to the runtime exploitation session. Using a benchmark containing six test programs, 10 CTF&RHG programs and four real-world applications with known vulnerabilities, we demonstrate that ExpGen can effectively generate partial exploit input that carries out some address-leakage event and provide a complete automated exploitability evaluation workflow on vulnerable programs running in the ASLR environment.
