Safe Rust Code That Segfaults
- kxxt 4y agoRecently I participated in Geekgame 2nd, which is a pretty good CTF competition for CTF newbies like me. One problem in that competition is to submit a safe rust program that will segfault. The problem forces you to begin your rust code by #![forbid(unsafe_code)], which can’t be worked around by #![allow(unsafe_code)]. Of course, there is an attribute `allow_internal_unsafe` which allows you to use unsafe code inside a macro. But after this PR(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/57467 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/57467) was merged, you can no longer use this attribute when unsafe code is forbidden. So how can you cause a segfault in safe rust under the assumption that you can not bypass #![forbid(unsafe_code)]. ... Read the complete blog by clicking the link in the title.
