The program implements a simple AES-CBC encryption and decryption service, with key and iv being randomly generated and unknown to us. However, after each decryption the key and iv are re-generated. There are three vulnerabilities in the program: we firstly leak the pointers and canary via an out-of-bounds read in decryption; we then use a data segment overflow in the hexadecimal parser to rewrite the constants used by AES, so that key and iv can be leaked; finally, a stack overflow filled with encrypted data is exploited to get the code execution.
