kandi X-RAY | strace Summary
this is strace - a diagnostic, debugging and instructional userspace utility with a traditional command-line interface for linux. it is used to monitor and tamper with interactions between processes and the linux kernel, which include system calls, signal deliveries, and changes of process state. the operation of strace is made possible by the kernel feature known as ptrace. strace is released under a berkeley-style license at the request of paul kranenburg; see the file copying for details. see the file credits for a list of authors and other contributors. see the file install for compilation and installation instructions. see the file news

QUESTION
I have a docker container with an XDP program loaded on it. I also have a batch file for the bpftool
to run. When I run bpftool batch file tmp_bpftool.txt
, I get Error: reading batch file failed: Operation not permitted
. I am the root in the container. So, what could possibly be the problem?
The batch file is as below: (512 updates on map 59 and 1 update on map 58)
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Mar-29 at 00:11TL;DR: Your map update works fine. The message is a bug in bpftool.
Bpftool updates the maps just as you would expect; and then, after processing all the batch file, it checks errno
. If errno
is 0, it supposes that everything went fine, and it's good. If not, it prints strerror(errno)
so you can see what went wrong when processing the file.
errno
being set is not due to your map updates. I'm not entirely sure of what's happening to it. The bug was seemingly introduced with commit cf9bf714523d ("tools: bpftool: Allow unprivileged users to probe features"), where we manipulate process capabilities with libcap. Having a call to cap_get_proc()
in feature.c is apparently enough for the executable to pick it up and to run some checks on capabilities that are supported, or not, on the system even if we're not doing any probing. I'm observing the following calls with strace
:
QUESTION
I want to compile this C code with the GNU C Compiler on Ubuntu without linking any standard libraries, having only the following code execute.
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Mar-06 at 12:40I found out what is happening.
If I compile the code with cc example.c -ffreestanding -nostartfiles -O3 -o example
the compiler makes a dynamically linked executable. Dynamically linked executables have an .interp
section. That is what I was seeing in my objdump -D
.
Dynamically linked executables are executing via the program interpreter and the dynamic linker. The additional system calls I saw, came from the dynamic linker. I still do not know why the executable wants to dynamically link anything in a program that does not link any libraries and wants to be freestanding.
If you do not want the extra system calls from the dynamic linker - you should give gcc the extra -static
option. The compiler does not automatically do this if there is no dynamic linking happening.

I am running archlinux(arcolinux distro to be specific) everything is fine but one little tiny problem which annoys me the problem is every time i open a terminal this pops us at the top of the terminal

QUESTION
Running it with -v does not really tell me what the problem is. It takes about 20s before printing even a single line.
Running it under strace
outputs a lot of noise, and strace
does not run on Mac OS.
Removing dependencies to see if they are the problem would be a ridiculous amount of work.

QUESTION
I would like a command-line-tool to fail if it opens a particular file for writing.
Is there a way I can modify the environment (maybe via cgroups) of the command-line tool, so that the command/process gets (for example) "permission denied"?
chmod a-w file
does not work. The process seems to unlink()
and then re-create the file.
I know that I can watch the syscalls of a process with strace
. But is there a way to alter some calls, so that the process gets a different result?
ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-20 at 15:01strace
has an option called -e inject
or simply --inject
which can be used to alter system calls of the tracee. (See manpage here)
In particular, in can be combined with the -P
option to only trace syscalls accessing a specified path.
QUESTION
I was under the impression that under Linux you could bind to a non-local address as long as you set the IP_FREEBIND
socket option, but that's not the behavior I'm seeing:
ANSWER
Answered 2022-Feb-02 at 16:48Unfortunately, it seems that it is not possible to bind a raw IP socket to a non-local, non-broadcast and non-multicast address, regardless of IP_FREEBIND
. Since I see inet_addr("w.x.y.z")
in your strace
output, I assume that this is exactly what you're trying to do and w.x.y.z
is a non-local unicast address, thus your bind
syscall fails.
This seems in accordance with man 7 raw
:
A raw socket can be bound to a specific local address using the
bind(2)
call. If it isn't bound, all packets with the specified IP protocol are received. In addition, a raw socket can be bound to a specific network device usingSO_BINDTODEVICE
; seesocket(7)
.
Indeed, looking at the kernel source code, in raw_bind()
we can see the following check:
QUESTION
I am deploying multiple R versions on multiple virtual desktops. I've built 3.6.3
and 4.1.2
R from source on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
. None of them finds the system-wide Rprofile.site
file in /etc/R
or the system certificates in /usr/share/ca-certificates
. However R (3.4.4
) installed with APT has no such problems. I used Ansible, but for the sake of this question I reproduced the deployment for one host with a shell script.
ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-14 at 17:25Finally I found the solution:
Since both system has the arch and OS. I cross copied the R compiled installations between them. The R which was compiled on the problematic system, but was run on the correct one gave the warnings below after the calling of the install.packages("renv", repos="https://cran.wu.ac.at/")
QUESTION
I'm trying to build a simple version of starce, which shows you the first x syscalls a process made. The problem is that currently it seems like every syscall appears twice (except execve
and exit_group
).
This is the code I use to get the syscalls:
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-14 at 12:44After digging a bit in other threads here, I found that every syscall is supposed to appear twice, once before it was called, and another time after it was called.
So the solution will be to simply to add the syscall to the list only once every two iterations.
QUESTION
I have been learning buffer overflows and i am trying to execute the following command through shellcode /bin/nc -e /bin/sh -nvlp 4455
. Here is my assembly code:
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Dec-29 at 14:12As you can see in strace
, the execve command executes as:
execve("/bin//nc", ["/bin//nc", "/bin//nc-e //bin/bash -nvlp 4455"], NULL) = 0
It seems to be taking the whole /bin//nc-e //bin/bash -nvlp 4455
as a single argument and thus thinks it's a hostname. In order to get around that, the three argv[]
needed for execve()
is pushed seperately.
argv[]=["/bin/nc", "-e/bin/bash", "-nvlp4455"]
These arguments are each pushed into edx, ecx, and ebx. since ebx needs to be /bin/nc, which was already done in the original code. we just needed to push 2nd and 3rd argv[] into ecx and edx and push it into stack. After that we just copy the whole stack into ecx, and then xor edx,edx
to set edx as NULL.
Here is the correct solution:
QUESTION
We've had a working Ansible AWX instance running on v5.0.0 for over a year, and suddenly all jobs stop working -- no output is rendered. They will start "running" but hang indefinitely without printing out any logging.
The AWX instance is running in a docker compose container setup as defined here: https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/5.0.0/INSTALL.md#docker-compose
ObservationsStandard troubleshooting such as restarting of containers, host OS, etc. hasn't helped. No configuration changes in either environment.
Upon debugging an actual playbook command, we observe that the command to run a playbook from the UI is like the below:
ssh-agent sh -c ssh-add /tmp/awx_11021_0fmwm5uz/artifacts/11021/ssh_key_data && rm -f /tmp/awx_11021_0fmwm5uz/artifacts/11021/ssh_key_data && ansible-playbook -vvvvv -u ubuntu --become --ask-vault-pass -i /tmp/awx_11021_0fmwm5uz/tmppo7rcdqn -e @/tmp/awx_11021_0fmwm5uz/env/extravars playbook.yml
That's broken down into three commands in sequence:
ssh-agent sh -c ssh-add /tmp/awx_11021_0fmwm5uz/artifacts/11021/ssh_key_data
rm -f /tmp/awx_11021_0fmwm5uz/artifacts/11021/ssh_key_data
ansible-playbook -vvvvv -u ubuntu --become --ask-vault-pass -i /tmp/awx_11021_0fmwm5uz/tmppo7rcdqn -e @/tmp/awx_11021_0fmwm5uz/env/extravars playbook.yml
You can see in part 3, the -vvvvv
is the debugging argument -- however, the hang is happening on command #1. Which has nothing to do with ansible or AWX specifically, but it's not going to get us much debugging info.
I tried doing an strace
to see what is going on, but for reasons given below, it is pretty difficult to follow what it is actually hanging on. I can provide this output if it might help.
So one natural question with command #1 -- what is 'ssh_key_data'?
Well it's what we set up to be the Machine credential in AWX (an SSH key) -- it hasn't changed in a while and it works just fine when used in a direct SSH command. It's also apparently being set up by AWX as a file pipe:
prw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 10 08:29 ssh_key_data
Which starts to explain why it could be potentially hanging (if nothing is being read in from the other side of the pipe).
Running a normal ansible-playbook from command line (and supplying the SSH key in a more normal way) works just fine, so we can still deploy, but only via CLI right now -- it's just AWX that is broken.
ConclusionsSo the question then becomes "why now"? And "how to debug"? I have checked the health of awx_postgres, and verified that indeed the Machine credential is present in an expected format (in the main_credential
table). I have also verified that can use ssh-agent on the awx_task container without the use of that pipe keyfile. So it really seems to be this piped file that is the problem -- but I haven't been able to glean from any logs where the other side of the pipe (sender) is supposed to be or why they aren't sending the data.
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Dec-13 at 04:21Had the same issue starting this Friday in the same timeframe as you. Turned out that Crowdstrike (falcon sensor) Agent was the culprit. I'm guessing they pushed a definition update that is breaking or blocking fifo pipes. When we stopped the CS agent, AWX started working correctly again, with no issues. See if you are running a similar security product.
