Re: Uncooperative upstream developers: msg#00022

Subject: Re: Uncooperative upstream developers

Steve,

The problems your having may be due to the VA Kernel patch randomizing the stack at runtime. Are you running a 2.6.X kernel? You can tell if the VA Patch is the problem by looking at the output of: cat /proc/<pid>/maps for two different instances of the program. You'll notice the stack region is mapped differently for each instance. Now in order to run your shellcode you have a few different options to bypass this restriction. For more information http://www.packetstormsecurity.org/papers/bypass/smackthestack.txt.


Hope that helps,
