How to find objects/handles in call stack frame is waiting upon "WaitForMultipleObjects"?


  1. In Frame 2, kernel32!WaitForMultipleObjects+0x19 , win32 API call is waiting on multiple objects/handles.

  2. In Windbg, how can we determine those handles for this specific frame?

Solution

  • output of k

    kd> $$ 00adfb88 7755fe39 ntdll!NtWaitForMultipleObjects+0xc (FPO: [5,0,0])
    

    dumping dwords at ebp

    kd> dd 00adfb88 l 8
    00adfb88  77576a44 7755fe39 00000010 00412ca8
    00adfb98  00000001 00000001 00000000 77cc0c57
    

    kd> $$ ebp+8 = first argument = 10
    kd> $$ ebp+c = secon argumet = * to handles 412ca8
    kd> $$ the handles are

    kd> dd 412ca8 l10
    00412ca8  000000f4 000000f0 0000069c 00000900
    00412cb8  00000464 000007d0 0000081c 00000828
    00412cc8  000006d8 00000640 00000634 0000056c
    00412cd8  0000037c 00000460 00000654 00000100
    

    a script like this can fetch you all the handle

    kd> .foreach /pS 1 /ps 1 (place { dd /c 1 412ca8 l10 } ) { !handle place 2}
