前言

请先阅读pwntools官方issues,确保其他人的回答仍无法解决问题:
docker gdb attach #1140

长文不看版:

首先使用pwn version确认你的pwntools版本。如果是4.6.0及之前的版本,都存在这个问题。若如此,找个目录下载一下最新的版本:git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/Gallopsled/pwntools,然后不需要cd切换目录,直接使用pip install --upgrade --editable ./pwntools。这条语句会自动卸载当前pwntools并安装开发版本。Waiting for debugger无限等待的问题在这篇博客发表4天前(2021-7-15)刚被修复……

背景

使用ssh连接centos服务器,用着c01dkit/pwndocker的pwndocker,开了tmux的情况下,使用context.terminal = ['tmux','splitw','-h']gdb.attach(xxxx)出现Waiting for debugger,然后无限等待,即便gdb正常attach到了程序上。截图如下:
在这里插入图片描述
正常情况下,如果debugger在15s内没有return的话程序会报一个failure。但是这里无论等多久都没有返回。

解决思路

调试发现,这是由于/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pwnlib/util/proc.py的 wait_for_debugger函数在

while t.timeout and tracer(pid) is None:

这个循环中无限执行了。通过在这个while外面加上调试语句可以发现,这里源码的问题在于countdown不会按照预想的方式进行倒计时,所以造成无限循环。

有兴趣可以阅读一下/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pwnlib/timeout.py对于倒计时的实现,此处就不从改timeout下手了(因为要解决的不是无限循环,是解决造成无限循环的原因)

tracer

进一步调试(在控制台运行一个程序,ps -aux查看其pid,并使用pwntools的pwnlib.util下proc.py的tracer函数手动查看pid的信息)发现tracer函数存在问题。在背景提到的环境下,该函数的返回值一直都是None。该函数实现如下(在/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pwnlib/util/proc.py中):

status

其调用的status也在这个文件里,实现方式如下:
在这里插入图片描述
可见它是去/proc/<pid>/status查看具体信息,然后把它做成字典并返回。然后tracer函数从字典中提取TracerPid字段,以查看该二进制程序到底有没有被gdb追踪到。这里举一个/proc/14792/status文件的例子(是buuctf的一道题)。注意status文件里的TracerPid字段是0,因为没有开启gdb调试。

然后再开一个窗口,使用gdb -p 14792来追踪这个程序,结果如下:

所以tracer函数的本质就是从系统文件中读取信息,看看哪个程序正在追踪这个程序。然后经过在python文件中添加调试语句并使用相同的方法进行查看,发现确实可以获得tracer pid的。这里的wait_for_debugger函数使用了0.1s一次的检查。(本来以为是这种方法拿不到tracer pid,后来发现确实可以嗷。运行冲程序的前几次是None,之后就是正常的pid了。)

真正原因

仔细观察程序,发现是程序逻辑设计有问题……即便是拿到了正确的pid,wait_for_debugger也会进入死循环。超时退出还好,也不知道为什么超时坏了退出不了(hhh)

简单来说while debugger_pid:这个循环是无法退出的,因为一切正常时debugger_pid = 0不会执行,所以这个就死循环了啊喂!

#/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pwnlib/util/proc.py

def wait_for_debugger(pid, debugger_pid=None):
    """wait_for_debugger(pid, debugger_pid=None) -> None

    Sleeps until the process with PID `pid` is being traced.
    If debugger_pid is set and debugger exits, raises an error.

    Arguments:
        pid (int): PID of the process.

    Returns:
        None
    """
    t = Timeout()
    with t.countdown(timeout=15):
        with log.waitfor('Waiting for debugger') as l:
            while debugger_pid:
                debugger = psutil.Process(debugger_pid)
                while t.timeout and tracer(pid) is None:
                    try:
                        debugger.wait(0.01)
                    except psutil.TimeoutExpired:
                        pass
                    else:
                        debugger_pid = 0
                        break
            else:
                while t.timeout and tracer(pid) is None:
                    time.sleep(0.01)

        if tracer(pid):
            l.success()
        elif debugger_pid == 0:
            l.failure("debugger exited! (maybe check /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope)")
        else:
            l.failure('Debugger did not attach to pid %d within 15 seconds', pid)

绕了半天,最后终于发现了死循环的原因。

解决方案

那么稍微修改一下源码即可。即找到了tracer就不用在while了,直接退出循环就完事了~
vim /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pwnlib/util/proc.py,然后把wait_for_debugger函数换成下面这个。(其实只改动了一小点,所以手动修改两三行就行)

#/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pwnlib/util/proc.py

def wait_for_debugger(pid, debugger_pid=None):
    """wait_for_debugger(pid, debugger_pid=None) -> None

    Sleeps until the process with PID `pid` is being traced.
    If debugger_pid is set and debugger exits, raises an error.

    Arguments:
        pid (int): PID of the process.

    Returns:
        None
    """
    t = Timeout()
    with t.countdown(timeout=15):
        with log.waitfor('Waiting for debugger') as l:
            while debugger_pid:
                debugger = psutil.Process(debugger_pid)
                #while t.timeout and tracer(pid) is None:
                if tracer(pid) is not None: break
                try:
                    debugger.wait(0.01)
                except psutil.TimeoutExpired:
                    pass
                else:
                    debugger_pid = 0
            else:
                while t.timeout and tracer(pid) is None:
                    time.sleep(0.01)

        if tracer(pid):
            l.success()
        elif debugger_pid == 0:
            l.failure("debugger exited! (maybe check /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope)")
        else:
            l.failure('Debugger did not attach to pid %d within 15 seconds', pid)

最终效果

如下图,waiting for debugger的死循环解决了!

总结

dl们写的代码也会存在问题……不要盲目搞崇拜呀。本来打算提交一个issue,但是发现github上不了了,就改天再说吧。

2021-7-19日补充:今天上了github,发现这个bug四天前被修复过了……好吧T_T
