A ROP (Return-Oriented Programming) attack can be used to execute arbitrary
instructions by chaining together small pieces of code called "gadgets." Your goal is
to create a stack layout for a ROP attack that calls a function located at '0x4018bd3'.
Below is the assembly code for the function 'getbuf', which allocates 8 bytes of stack
space for a 'char' array. This array is then passed to the 'gets' function. Additionally,
you are provided with five useful gadgets and their addresses. Use these gadgets to
construct the stack layout.

Problem 1 [15 points]
The code below is buggy. Assume the code compiles. Briefly:
1). Identify the problem with the code (e.g., can access memory out of bounds) and
2). Suggest a solution (e.g., check the length).

Which statement regarding SGA_MAX_SIZE is true?
SGA_MAX_SIZE is modifiable after an instance is started, only when Automatic Memory Management is used.
SGA_MAX_SIZE is not dyamically modifiable.
SGA_MAX_SIZE is ignored when MEMORY_TARGET > 0.
SGA-MAX_SIZE must be specified when SGA_TARGET > 0

In other words, you will program the sine or cosine function yourself, without using any existing solution. You can enter the angles in degrees or radians. The program must work for any input, e.g. -4500° or +8649°. The function will have two arguments: float sinus(float radians, float epsilon); For your own implementation, use one of the following relations (you only need to program either sine or cosine, you don't need both): Tip 1: Of course, you cannot calculate the sum of an infinite series indefinitely. You can see (if not, look in the program) that the terms keep getting smaller, so there will definitely be a situation where adding another term will not change the result in any way (see problem 1.3 – machine epsilon). However, you can end the calculation even earlier – when the result changes by less than epsilon (a pre-specified, sufficiently small number, e.g.…arrow_forward
