Basically the function I am exploiting is this:
int getbufn()
{
char buf[512];
Gets(buf);
return 1;
}
When I run the main program the function executes 5 times and each time the location of buf changes and so does the location of %ebp. What I am supposed to do is place a specific hex value, lets say 0xFFFFFFFF, into a variable and the main program checks each time to see if that variable is there. If it is it executes again until all 5 times are done and the program exits quietly.
The problem I am having is that right before the check for the hex value there is a check for another value that is constant, lets say 0x12345678. If I have corrupted 0x12345678 and it's not there, the program explodes on me.
I have figured out that 0x12345678 is stored in -0x10(%ebp) so I know it is based off %ebp and I know the address of %ebp each time but I can only get the exploit to work the first time. I do this by basically nopsled-ing 496 bytes and the having this machine code in byte format:
mov 0xFFFFFFFF, %eax
movl address old ebp, %ebp
push correct return adress in function main
ret
which ends up being 5 words and a byte for return long which I fill with 0x313131 to make it 6 words long. At this point my exploit string is 520 bytes long which is exactly how much the buffer is below %ebp and so I add on the address of old ebp and an address somewhere inside my nopsled overwriting the current value at %ebp as well as the return address for getbufn.
The problem is when the program executes a 2nd time %ebp is in an address 0x10 lower than its previous address so my way of uncorrupting %ebp doesn't work and main detects that 0x12345678 is not at -0x10(%ebp). How do I uncorrupt %ebp?
