Bug ID: 111518
Summary: relro protection not working in riscv
Product: gcc
Version: 13.1.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: sattdeepan.d at samsung dot com
Target Milestone: ---
-z,relro and/or -z,now flag not working on riscv arch.
Address of printf overwritten to custom address passed as argument, but it
expected to be readonly when full relro protection is enabled
Test code to reproduce(test_relro.c):
-----------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, int *argv[])
{
size_t *p = (size_t *) strtol(argv[1], NULL, 16);
p[0] = 0xdeadbeef;
printf("RELRO: %p\n", p);
return 0;
}
-----------------------------------------------
Steps to reproduce:
1. Turn off ASLR:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomise_va_space
1. Compile with -z,relro,-z,now flag:
gcc -g -Wl,-z,norelro -O0 -o test_partial test_relro.c
2. Check printf address in GOT:
sattdeepan@sri-9052:~$ objdump -R test_partial | grep printf
0000000000012020 R_RISCV_JUMP_SLOT printf@GLIBC_2.27
3. Running with gdb:
gdb -q test_partial
4. Get load address of printf function:
<base address of main> - <main offset> + <printf offset in GOT>
0x10586 - 0x10586 + 0x12020 ==> 0x12020
5. Pass load address of main as argument
gdb-peda$ r 0x12020
Starting program: /home/user/test_full_riscv 0x12020
