Understanding how rootadb finds method call in ELF binary

QUESTION

Understanding how rootadb finds method call in ELF binary

Asked 2019-Oct-06 at 06:42

The android debug bridge daemon adbd that runs on Android devices may be compiled without root support (ALLOW_ADBD_ROOT=0). There is a tool called rootadb which is able to patch an existing adbd binary by (as I understood it) replacing the calls to setuid() and setgid() with NOP instructions, effectively preventing it from dropping its privileges.

I don't understand how the code finds the place of the syscalls inside the binary.

As far as I see, it iterates over the all the bytes and checks if the bytes match something:

I'm not 100% sure, but I have a reasonable idea.

The first line of code loads a pointer to the address of setgid, and treats it as a 32 bit pointer.

The loop iterates over the binary, and looks for occurrences of 8 bytes that equal address of the setgid function. If it finds one, it applies the patch, starting at the first byte of that location.
