    Not in a HN news comment, I don't have that level of dedication to this because its definitely non trivial. However you can read about them in use against the glibc allocator are here: https://github.com/DhavalKapil/heap-exploitation/blob/master...

    The "house of" attack method are attacks against the allocator, its been a while since I've looked into it, I hope musl have hardened their allocator against this kind of attacks.
