Every process has a address boundary. When a process does a malloc, memory is allocated from this boundary location and the process address boundary is moved to the new end. In linux, there is a function sbrk() that allows to change the process address boundary. sbrk(0) will return the current process address boundary and sbrk(n) will move the process boundary by n bytes.
malloc internally uses this feature to allocate memory for the requesting process.
