Cannot Open Binary in edb (execv() failed: Permission denied) #679

Closed zachsis closed 6 years ago

zachsis commented 6 years ago

Just compiled edb-debugger on fedora 26 to give it a spin. I'm getting the following error when trying to open a PE file:

Failed to open and attach to process: execv() failed: Permission Denied

I also tested with setenforce 0, and sudo edb. Same result

edb can only debug applications which your native OS can run. PE files are not executable on linux.

so what files can the debugger attach. I get the same output when I run Linux native files.

At least those which can be executed. Namely, they must have run permission set for the user trying to run them.

I made it work. I needed xterm. But still some files cannot be executed like .txt or .png. But .py file do.

Erm... they are not supposed to ever be executed.

But .py file do.

For .py the interpreter gets executed under EDB.
