Today I try to get register's value via ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, ...),
but only EBX, ECX, EDX, ESI, EDI, EBP, EAX registers are correct.
I notice that file /usr/src/linux/include/asm/ptrace.h:
#define FS 9
#define GS 10
but in the declare of struct pt_regs:
struct pt_regs {
long ebx;
long ecx;
long edx;
long esi;
long edi;
long ebp;
long eax;
int xds;
int xes;
long orig_eax;
long eip;
int xcs;
long eflags;
long esp;
int xss;
};
There is no xfs/xgs member in that struct, and the #define FRAME_SIZE 17
is not match the number of member in the pt_regs struct.
In addition, in the ptrace.c:
case PTRACE_GETREGS: { /* Get all gp regs from the child. */
if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, (unsigned *)data,
FRAME_SIZE*sizeo(long))) {
ret = -EIO;
break;
}
for ( i = 0; i < FRAME_SIZE*sizeof(long); i += sizeof(long) ) {
__put_user(getreg(child, i),(unsigned long *) data);
data += sizeof(long);
}
ret = 0;
FRAME_SIZE*sizeof(long) is larger than sizeof(struct pt_regs),
the ptrace() will overwrite the data of parent process!
To fix the bug, try this patch:
