Powerpc -msecure-plt verification - powerpc

I am trying to compile with -msecure-plt, and although compilation is completing just fine, when looking at the memory maps it doesn't look like the flag is actually doing anything. I am assuming it is not doing anything because the got and plt sections are both still in RWXP segements.

which sticks both of the plot jumps right into the middle of a rwx section. Am I misinterpreting this information?

I think that might be a kernel limitation: see e.g. https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/8/354 - it looks like the kernel maps things in ways you wouldn't expect for what I understand to be historical reasons.
It may be changing soon, given that the patch above was sent yesterday.

Depending on your version of gcc, the -msecure-plt flag might be ignored if any libraries you linked to were not also compiled with -msecure-plt (including glibc). See this.

Ruby 2.5.1 crashed - how to read this memory map?

I'm upgrading to Ruby 2.5.1 and when a unicorn worker crashed during testing, I got a ton of output that I'm not sure how to interpret.
Does anyone know what each of these columns means? I think if I understood this better, I'd be able to find what caused the issue, as the output is rather larger than what I pasted here.

stack smash error occured in using a staic library

i developed a static library, and a test application to call its
functions.
Now, when i am executing the test application, it was able to get in to
the function and calculate the required values, but when the return is
called it is giving stack smash error

Here is the test application
#include <stdio.h>
#include "leapfrog.h"
void main()
{
unsigned int mid=0x0;
USB_Init();
mid = Read_MID();
printf("\n mid = 0x%x\n",mid);
USB_Deinit();
return;
}
The above was the test application and it was referencing this function in the library
uint16 Read_MID(void)
{
int8 buf[8]={0};
uint16 mid;
//Read Vendor id
buf[0] = 0xFE;
msp_write(0x41,buf,1);
msp_read(0x41,buf,2);
mid = buf[0];
mid <<= 8;
mid |= buf[1];
return mid;
}
till the "mid" calculation i could get the correct values. it is reaching till the end while debugging with insight debugger. just after "}" in the console i see the stack smash error.
what might be the cause of the stack smash.
Thank you for time and patience.
I resolved it by adding more array space.
int8 buf[8]={0};
i made it as
int8 buf[10]={0};

How to interpret memory map dump output?

my question is not relative to the error itself (I know what is the reason for it).
I would instead like to know how to read this dump (meaning of the fields, flags and so on), where it is produced (glibc, or gcc libraries) and how I can infer what's wrong from it at a higher level (e.g. some tool that might find this output useful).

The man page for proc has the answer. The memory map output format is given in the entry for /proc/[pid]/maps.
The short summary is going across the columns it is: memory range, permissions, offset, device (major:minor), inode, and pathname.

I find some solution from network to add "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0" in
CFLAGS. I had edit Makefile like this: CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD = -g -O2
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0
I make it again. But this problem is occured again.
Could you give some comments? Thanks a lot.
I had a similar problem building a GCC cross-compiler - it seems binutils is full of unsafe calls to sprintf().
A workaround which worked for me was to set:
export CFLAGS="-fno-stack-protector -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0"
These have to be set before running ../src/configure.
There seems to be a binutils patch here: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2009-November/msg06284.html but it didn't apply cleanly to the source I was using, so I stuck with CFLAGS hack.
After I cross-compiled GCC with the latest version of binutils, it worked and I didn't get the buffer overflow anymore.
This was the line I used, after I installed the latest binutils:
../gcc-4.5.1/configure --target=arm-linux --prefix=/.../toolchain/bin/binutils --disable-nls --disable-multilib --disable-shared --disable-decimal-float --disable--threads --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp --disable-libgomp --enable-languages=c --with-system-zlib --with-newlib

*** buffer overflow detected ***

my program was compiled properly with "make" on Ubuntu 11.04, but when i run it, it give error.
is this a bug on Ubuntu? or this is difference in variable types between compilers?
pls help me

Looks like you copy too many chars to the destination.
