Mach-O Support Notes and Caveats

The Mach-O support provided by this contribution is considered experimental but stable. It has been mainly tested with ARM64 Mach-O binaries and a few ARMv7 binaries.

As of 14.12.2016 the system can be used to load both Mach-O executables as well as libraries. However some caveats apply:

CAVEATS

  • Currently this system can load only ONE binary, i.e. loading a binary with all its dependencies is not possible.
  • No rebasing support
  • Mach-O rebasing requires involvement of the entire binary in order to interpret a linker script embedded in said binary.
  • Currently the interface for binaries an CLE does not provide the required capabilities (turn rebase_addr into a property?)
  • Not all fields are filled in accordance with Angr's expectations.
  • Overall integration into Angr/CLE could be better
  • PAGEZERO is not mapped to conserve memory
