非root Android 设备用gdbserver进行native 调试的方法

没有root的设备,要使用gdbserver 调试app 会遇到权限问题。(emulator 没有问题)

Android 系统提供了一个run-as 命令来暂时切换用户,但是这个命令有限制,必须是app 打开了debuggable才行,否则会报 Package xx is not debuggable 的错误。
http://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core.git/+/master/run-as/run-as.c 的注释来看,主要的作用有两个:

  • 可以查看自己开发的应用的数据
  • 可以使用gdb_server 进行native 的debug

我们的需求是第2个,我们希望可以使用gdb_server 来调试 app

shell@mako:/ $ run-as
Usage: run-as []

shell@mako:/ $
shell@mako:/ $ run-as system_server /data/tmp/gdbserver --attach 596 :1234
run-as: Package 'system_server' is unknown

翻看源码,发现有下面 代码:

/* reject system packages */
if (userAppId < AID_APP) {
panic("Package '%s' is not an application\n", pkgname);
}
/* reject any non-debuggable package */
if (!info.isDebuggable) {
panic("Package '%s' is not debuggable\n", pkgname);
}

限制比较严格,调试系统app估计是没什么戏,root了应该就没有问题了。但是调试一般的app 还是没有问题的,用apktool 将 AndroidManifest.xml 的 debuggable 设置为true,重新 打包就可以进行native 的 debug 了。下面以CVE-2014-7911的POC为例:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.heen.CVE_2014_7911">

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:debuggable="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

</manifest>

这个app 正好 android:debuggable=”true” 不用修改了,在模拟器上安装这个app。搭建 gdb调试环境, 分下面几个步骤走:

(1) 创建几个目录

1
2
3
mkdir ~/Android
mkidr ~/Android/system_lib
mkidr ~/Android/vendor_lib

(2) 将Android 设置上的lib下载到本地

cd ~/Android/system_lib/
adb pull /system/lib

cd ~/Android/vendor_lib/
adb pull /vendor/lib

cd ~/Android

# 在64位系统 /system/bin/app_process32 和 /system/bin/app_process64
adb pull /system/bin/app_process

cd ~/Android
adb pull /system/bin/linker

(3) 上传gdbserver

1
adb push $NDK_PATH/prebuilt/android-arm/gdbserver/gdbserver /data/local/tmp/gdbserver

环境基本搭建好了,测试一下 run-as 命令

> adb shell ps

> adb shell run-as com.heen.CVE_2014_7911 id

已经切换过来了,uid 变了,挂上gdbserver

> adb shell run-as com.heen.CVE_2014_7911 /data/local/tmp/gdbserver :123 --attach 16907

Can't open socket: Permission denied.

报了另外一个错误,还是不行,google 一翻发现有debug-pipe 参数,尝试了一下

1

3
> adb shell run-as com.heen.CVE_2014_7911 /data/local/tmp/gdbserver +debug-pipe --attach 16907
Attached; pid = 16907
Listening on Unix socket debug-pipe

恩,现在没有报错了,执行一下端口转发。

1
2
adb forward tcp:5039 localfilesystem:/data/data/com.heen.CVE_2014_7911/debug-pipe

OK, 已经可以调试了。
