Preamble

This is education project. It is made to allow studying computer science, computer architectures and debugging binary codes.

So we get segfault which should be fixed. To do it we need to get backtrace:

As you can see SNPSle_2c2186f0f2f42415 doesn't have return data. So I suppose we can ignore calling of this function.

Let's get objdump

$ objdump -D /eda/synopsys/vcs/Q-2020.03/linux64/lib/libvcsnew.so &> dump

VIM allows to open big dump file. After opening find - SNPSle_126d17af453e054a

We are interested in line - 1aaf8de: e8 f3 fd ff ff callq 1aaf6d6 <SNPSle_2c2186f0f2f42415>
It's callq instruction which we can replace by some nop instructions.
Nop instruction is 0x90 in hex code.

First of all you must make backup of VCS tool!

Edit binary file via hexedit

$ hexedit /eda/synopsys/vcs/Q-2020.03/linux64/lib/libvcsnew.so

Find e8 f3 fd ff ff which is at 1aaf8de address. And replace this bytes by 0x90! Save changes and close library.
So let's check result via objdump:

$ objdump -D /eda/synopsys/vcs/Q-2020.03/linux64/lib/libvcsnew.so &> new_dump

go to 1aaf8de

0000000001aaf8c0 <SNPSle_126d17af453e054a>:

As you see we done it! We aren't facing segmentation fault!

Automatization

To patch library without manually operation there is patcher.py
Attention, before running patcher.py make backup of library which you would like to patch.

How to solve segmentation fault on VCS

Preamble

This is education project. It is made to allow studying computer science, computer architectures and debugging binary codes.

Problem

segfault in VCS Q-2020.03

Solution

At first use GDB

Let's get objdump

Edit binary file via hexedit

Test

Automatization
