feat: add libc `__exit_funcs` utility class
closes #2633
Pwntools Pull Request
Thanks for contributing to Pwntools! Take a moment to look at CONTRIBUTING.md to make sure you're familiar with Pwntools development.
Please provide a high-level explanation of what this pull request is for.
WIP!
Adding a utility class for glibc's __exit_funcs. This can be helpful when promoting an arbitrary write and read to RCE.
See this resource for more info. A lot of exploits just use the CxaFunc and ExitHandler class shown here, so it would make sense to have the functionality in pwntools as well.
TODO
- [ ] documentation
- [ ] compliance with older glibc versions
- [ ] exit handler class
Testing
Pull Requests that introduce new code should try to add doctests for that code. See TESTING.md for more information.
