glibc heap exploitation
Glibc heap exploitation refers to the process of identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in the GNU C library (glibc) heap memory management system. This involves understanding and manipulating the allocation and deallocation of dynamic memory in order to achieve unintended behavior, such as arbitrary memory read/write, information leakage, or remote code execution, ultimately leading to unauthorized access or control within a program or system.
