I had a similar problem, but only when not using kqemu.
When using a stack overflow exploit, the shellcode provided only
executes when using kqemu. I can attribute this to either the
shellcode being in a different location (maybe someone can clarify
this, is qemu using a different memory layout e.g. stack is located in
a different virtual address), or qemu does not translate the shellcode
located in the stack and instead causes a memory fault (again i have
no idea why this should be the case).
When using kqemu the shellcode executes normally.
I did not have any time to investigate the reasons, but i have a hunch
it is the probably the translation.
If anyone knows what the problem is, i would be glad to write a patch.
