Q&A

How to run in custom libc version?

cp /glibc/2.27/64/lib/ld-2.27.so /tmp/ld-2.27.so
patchelf --set-interpreter /tmp/ld-2.27.so ./test
LD_PRELOAD=./libc.so.6 ./test

or

from pwn import *
p = process(["/path/to/ld.so", "./test"], env={"LD_PRELOAD":"/path/to/libc.so.6"})

How to run in custom libc version with other lib?

if you want to run binary with glibc version 2.28:

root@pwn:/ctf/work# ldd /bin/ls
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe065d3000)
libselinux.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1 (0x00007f004089e000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f00406ac000)
libpcre2-8.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre2-8.so.0 (0x00007f004061c000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f0040616000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f00408f8000)

root@pwn:/ctf/work# /glibc/2.28/64/ld-2.28.so /bin/ls
/bin/ls: error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You can copy /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1 and /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre2-8.so.0 to /glibc/2.28/64/lib/, and sometimes it fails because the built-in libselinux.so.1 requires higher version libc:

root@pwn:/ctf/work# /glibc/2.28/64/ld-2.28.so /bin/ls
/bin/ls: /glibc/2.28/64/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.30' not found (required by /glibc/2.28/64/lib/libselinux.so.1)

it can be solved by copying libselinux.so.1 from ubuntu 18.04 which glibc version is 2.27 to /glibc/2.28/64/lib:

docker run -itd --name u18 ubuntu:18.04 /bin/bash
docker cp -L u18:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1 .
docker cp -L u18:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre2-8.so.0 .
docker cp libselinux.so.1 pwn:/glibc/2.28/64/lib/
docker cp libpcre2-8.so.0 pwn:/glibc/2.28/64/lib/

And now it succeeds:

root@pwn:/ctf/work# /glibc/2.28/64/ld-2.28.so /bin/ls -l /
