Solve the problem that docker uses GDB and cannot enter breakpoints

Problem

Running gdb in docker, breaking point, but unable to enter breakpoint

Cause

docker in order to ensure the security of the host, docker has opened many security settings, including ASLR (Address space layout randomization), that is, the memory address in docker is different from that of the host.

ASLR causes address-dependent programs such as GDB to fail.

Solution

Using the super permissions of docker, add--privileged (two horizontal lines, markdown syntax

Such as:

docker run-privileged … …

GDB can operate normally

Super privilege will turn off many security settings, which can make full use of docker capabilities

For example, docker can be opened in docker, hehe.

Additional knowledge: docker ptrace: Operation not permitted

gdb in docker will report an error during the process debug:

(gdb) attach 30721

Attaching to process 30721

ptrace: Operation not permitted.

The reason is that ptrace is prohibited by default by Docker. Considering the need of application analysis, there are several methods to solve it:

1. Turn off seccomp

docker run --security-opt seccomp=unconfined

2. Adopt super permission mode

docker run --privileged

3. Only open ptrace restrictions

docker run --cap-add sys_ptrace

Of course, from the security point of view, if you only want to use gdb for debug, it is recommended to use the third one.

Secure Computing Mode (secure computing mode, seccomp) is an Linux kernel feature that can be used to restrict the operations available within the container.

The default seccomp configuration file for Docker is a white list that specifies the allowed calls.

The following table lists important (but not all) system calls that are effectively blocked because they are not on the white list. This table contains the reason why each system call was blocked.

Syscall	Description
acct	Accounting syscall which could let containers disable their own resource limits or process accounting. Also gated by CAP_SYS_PACCT.
add_key	Prevent containers from using the kernel keyring, which is not namespaced.
adjtimex	Similar to clock_settime and settimeofday, time/date is not namespaced. Also gated by CAP_SYS_TIME.
bpf	Deny loading potentially persistent bpf programs into kernel, already gated by CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
clock_adjtime	Time/date is not namespaced. Also gated by CAP_SYS_TIME.
clock_settime	Time/date is not namespaced. Also gated by CAP_SYS_TIME.
clone	Deny cloning new namespaces. Also gated by CAP_SYS_ADMIN for CLONE_* flags, except CLONE_USERNS.
create_module	Deny manipulation and functions on kernel modules. Obsolete. Also gated by CAP_SYS_MODULE.
delete_module	Deny manipulation and functions on kernel modules. Also gated by CAP_SYS_MODULE.
finit_module	Deny manipulation and functions on kernel modules. Also gated by CAP_SYS_MODULE.
get_kernel_syms	Deny retrieval of exported kernel and module symbols. Obsolete.

iopl	Prevent containers from modifying kernel I/O privilege levels. Already gated by CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
kcmp	Restrict process inspection capabilities, already blocked by dropping CAP_PTRACE.
kexec_file_load	Sister syscall of kexec_load that does the same thing, slightly different arguments. Also gated by CAP_SYS_BOOT.
kexec_load	Deny loading a new kernel for later execution. Also gated by CAP_SYS_BOOT.
keyctl	Prevent containers from using the kernel keyring, which is not namespaced.
lookup_dcookie	Tracing/profiling syscall, which could leak a lot of information on the host. Also gated by CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
mbind	Syscall that modifies kernel memory and NUMA settings. Already gated by CAP_SYS_NICE.
mount	Deny mounting, already gated by CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
move_pages	Syscall that modifies kernel memory and NUMA settings.
name_to_handle_at	Sister syscall to open_by_handle_at. Already gated by CAP_SYS_NICE.
nfsservctl	Deny interaction with the kernel nfs daemon. Obsolete since Linux 3.1.
open_by_handle_at	Cause of an old container breakout. Also gated by CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH.
perf_event_open	Tracing/profiling syscall, which could leak a lot of information on the host.
personality	Prevent container from enabling BSD emulation. Not inherently dangerous, but poorly tested, potential for a lot of kernel vulns.
pivot_root	Deny pivot_root, should be privileged operation.
process_vm_readv	Restrict process inspection capabilities, already blocked by dropping CAP_PTRACE.
process_vm_writev	Restrict process inspection capabilities, already blocked by dropping CAP_PTRACE.

reboot	Don't let containers reboot the host. Also gated by CAP_SYS_BOOT.
request_key	Prevent containers from using the kernel keyring, which is not namespaced.
set_mempolicy	Syscall that modifies kernel memory and NUMA settings. Already gated by CAP_SYS_NICE.
setns	Deny associating a thread with a namespace. Also gated by CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
settimeofday	Time/date is not namespaced. Also gated by CAP_SYS_TIME.
socket, socketcall	Used to send or receive packets and for other socket operations. All socket and socketcall calls are blocked except communication domains AF_UNIX, AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_NETLINK, and AF_PACKET.
stime	Time/date is not namespaced. Also gated by CAP_SYS_TIME.
