Bindiff unable to process statically linked binaries exported with BinExport from Ghidra (flow graph already attached error)
Describe the bug Bindiff is unable to process statically linked binaries exported by Ghidra with BinExport.
I have not tried BinExport with IDA.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1.
Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Screenshots A binary like this: openssl: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=6143bc37788cd04527de063e16c35627b1610ea2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped
Will result in an error like this: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' E0215 14:29:31.721843 1785634 flow_graph.cc:85] Could not find basic block: 008D6BF0 E0215 14:29:31.721862 1785638 flow_graph.cc:85] Could not find basic block: 005A8E40 E0215 14:29:31.721827 1785635 flow_graph.cc:85] Could not find basic block: 0068A377 E0215 14:29:31.721854 1785637 flow_graph.cc:85] Could not find basic block: 00654090 E0215 14:29:31.721843 1785639 flow_graph.cc:85] Could not find basic block: 008E6230 what(): AttachFlowGraph: flow graph already attached 00401000
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Ubuntu 23.10
- Locale: US English
- Disassembler and version: Ghidra 11.0 with BinExport 12 with BinDiff 8
Additional context I have tried this with multiple statically compiled binaries and it seems to fail with the same error. Binaries that aren't statically linked do not have this error.
To reproduce: Compiile OpenSSL statically. Analyze with Ghidra. Export with BinExport plugin. Attempt to diff with Bindiff.
Expected Behavior: To successfully process the file the same as dynamically linked files.
For convenience, can you attach two .BinExport files to this bug?
To me, this looks like an issue with the Ghidra extension and/or Ghidra's disassembly. BinDiff assumes that BinExport files are well-formed and self-consistent.
Using Ida Free, the BinExport is able to be processed.
However, BinExport files from Ida and Ghidra don't seem to be compatible / comparable, I'm not sure if this is expected behavior or not.
