Subject: [PATCH] find dynamic stack allocations in checkstack.pl
Date: Fri, 02 May 2008 12:26:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <481B4EC5.6060507@redhat.com> (raw)

Currently, checkstack.pl only looks for fixed subtractions from the stack
pointer.  However, things like this:

void function(int size)
{
        char stackbuster[size << 2];
...

are certainly worth pointing out, I think.

This could perhaps be done more cleanly, and the following patch only
adds "dynamic" REs for x86 and x86_64, but it works:

0x00b0 crypto_cbc_decrypt_inplace [cbc]:                Dynamic (%rax)
0x00ad crypto_pcbc_decrypt_inplace [pcbc]:              Dynamic (%rax)
0x02f6 crypto_pcbc_encrypt_inplace [pcbc]:              Dynamic (%rax)
0x036c _crypto_xcbc_digest_setkey [xcbc]:               Dynamic (%rax)
...

(Inspired by Keith Owens' old stack-check script)
