Re: [DynInst_API:] Stack protection error on ubuntu

Have you exported the necessary environment variables for specifying the necessary libraries (like DYNINSTAPI_RT_LIB)? I haven't used Dyninst for a while so I don't remember the exact names of the variables but you can check the documentation/README for that. Since for you second problem it's complaining about the runtime library, you can try preloading the libdyninstAPI_RT.so by exporting LD_PRELOAD=/home/dyninst/dyninstAPI/src/i386-unknown-linux2.4/lib/libdyninstAPI_RT.so.1 and also exporting the path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. 

Also I think it will be useful for people on mailing list if you could attach the program which is making calls to Dyninst functions.

Subject: [DynInst_API:] Stack protection error on ubuntu

Hi All,

I tried to create a simple mutator and mutatee programs. They compile fine. But, I am getting following error when I try to run it:

main: symbol lookup error: /home/dyninst/dyninstAPI/src/i386-unknown-linux2.4/lib/libdyninstAPI_RT.so.1: undefined symbol: __stack_chk_fail_local

--SERIOUS-- #0: The process exited during startup.  This is likely due to one of two reasons:

A). The application is mis-built and unable to load.  Try running the application outside of Dyninst and see if it loads properly.

B). libdyninstAPI_RT is mis-built.  Try loadin

--FATAL-- #68: Dyninst was unable to create the specified process

--FATAL-- #68: create process failed bootstrap

Segmentation fault

I am using ubuntu system. If found out that there was some issue with stack protection. I then recompiled the dyninst API with DISABLE-STACK-PROT=true in make.config.local file in src/core directory. I also disabled stack randomization. 

But I am still having same issue. One more thing , I get this error only when I use createProcess function. When I try to attach to existing process I get following error:

process.C[2525]:  Don't have runtime library handle

I checked out the code at that line. it says to check if runtime library is loaded. But, I don't understand how to do that either.

So, can anybody help me with this?

I am stuck at this really badly. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Rishikesh
