Hi everybody!
Is it right that code become writeable in gziped executable?
I tried such program:
-------8<--------------------
sub()
{
printf("sub\n");
}
main()
{
printf("before: %x\n",*(int*)&sub);
*(int*)&sub = 0;
printf("after: %x\n", *(int*)&sub);
sub();
}
-------8<--------------------
when compiled and executed normally (before gziping executable file)
it produce normal output:
bash$ ./x
before: 68e58955
Bus error (core dumped)
bash$
gdb display that program was terminated with signal 10 at line
*(int*)&sub = 0;
Nothing unusual...
But...
bash$ gzip x
gzip: x.gz already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? y
bash$ ./x.gz
before: 68e58955
after: 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
bash$
I become able to write to code? Or i misunderstand something?
Regads!
Igor.
