通过pwndbg看看c中局部变量是如何在stack上放置的 此外 printf %n的作用终于弄明白了

先上一个例子：

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

#include<stdio.h>   int main()   {       int n,num;       char*m2="Decimal";       char*m3="Octal";       char*m4="Hexadecimal";       num = printf("%s%s%s%n",m2,m3,m4,&n);       printf("\n\n%d\n",n);    printf("\n\n%d\n",num);            return 0;   }

接下来单步运行分析程序的作用：

pwndbg> p &n
$8 = (int *) 0x7fffffffec30
pwndbg> p n

运行到printf处stack的状态请注意：

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────[ SOURCE (CODE) ]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
In file: /data/test_n.c
   10
   11     char*m3="Octal";
   12
   13     char*m4="Hexadecimal";
   14
 ► 15     num = printf("%s%s%s%n",m2,m3,m4,&n);
   16
   17     printf("\n\n%d\n",n);
   18
   19  printf("\n\n%d\n",num);
   20
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────[ STACK ]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
00:0000│ rsp  0x7fffffffec30 —▸ 0x5555555551c0 (__libc_csu_init) ◂— push   r15  # 这个地址就是存放局部变量n
01:0008│      0x7fffffffec38 —▸ 0x555555556012 ◂— 'Hexadecimal'
02:0010│      0x7fffffffec40 —▸ 0x55555555600c ◂— 0x6548006c6174634f /* 'Octal' */
03:0018│      0x7fffffffec48 —▸ 0x555555556004 ◂— 0x6c616d69636544 /* 'Decimal' */

07:0038│      0x7fffffffec68 ◂— 0x100000000

然后继续运行，

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────[ SOURCE (CODE) ]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
In file: /data/test_n.c
   12
   13     char*m4="Hexadecimal";
   14
   15     num = printf("%s%s%s%n",m2,m3,m4,&n);
   16
 ► 17     printf("\n\n%d\n",n);
   18
   19  printf("\n\n%d\n",num);
   20
   21  
   22
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────[ STACK ]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
00:0000│ rsp  0x7fffffffec30 ◂— 0x1700000017
01:0008│      0x7fffffffec38 —▸ 0x555555556012 ◂— 'Hexadecimal'
02:0010│      0x7fffffffec40 —▸ 0x55555555600c ◂— 0x6548006c6174634f /* 'Octal' */
03:0018│      0x7fffffffec48 —▸ 0x555555556004 ◂— 0x6c616d69636544 /* 'Decimal' */
04:0020│ rbp  0x7fffffffec50 —▸ 0x5555555551c0 (__libc_csu_init) ◂— push   r15
05:0028│      0x7fffffffec58 —▸ 0x7ffff7e27cca (__libc_start_main+234) ◂— mov    edi, eax
06:0030│      0x7fffffffec60 —▸ 0x7fffffffed48 —▸ 0x7fffffffef1a ◂— '/data/a.out'
07:0038│      0x7fffffffec68 ◂— 0x100000000

神奇的事情发生了，stack上0x7fffffffec30地址处的值修改了，变成了 0x1700000017。最终程序输出n和num都是23。

为啥是23，

>>> len("Decimal")
7
>>> len("Octal")
5
>>> len("Hexadecimal")
11

因为打印的字符总数是23.

 

但是%n的作用，终于在一篇英文中看到了。

What is use of %n in printf() ?

Last Updated: 09-10-2019

In C printf(), %n is a special format specifier which instead of printing something causes printf() to load the variable pointed by the corresponding argument with a value equal to the number of characters that have been printed by printf() before the occurrence of %n.

#include<stdio.h>

  

int main()

{

  int c;

  printf("geeks for %ngeeks ", &c);

  printf("%d", c);

  getchar();

  return 0;

}

The above program prints “geeks for geeks 10”. The first printf() prints “geeks for geeks”. The second printf() prints 10 as there are 10 characters printed (the 10 characters are “geeks for “) before %n in first printf() and c is set to 10 by first printf().
