Subject: [PATCH 02/28] perf tools: Fix event_contains() macro to verify full field extent
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 00:33:53 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510033424.255812-3-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260510033424.255812-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
event_contains() checked whether a field's start offset was within
the event (header.size > offsetof), but not whether the full field
fit. A crafted event with header.size = offsetof(field) + 1 would
pass the check, but an 8-byte access (bswap_64, direct read) would
overrun the event boundary by up to 7 bytes.
Fix the macro to verify the complete field:
header.size >= offsetof(field) + sizeof(field)
Also update all callers that check event_contains(time_cycles) but
access later fields (time_mask, cap_user_time_zero,
cap_user_time_short) to check for cap_user_time_short — the last
field accessed — so the entire extended block is verified:
tsc.c, arm-spe.c, cs-etm.c, jitdump.c.
Note: session.c's perf_event__time_conv_swap() also guards on
time_cycles but accesses time_mask — a pre-existing issue not
introduced by this macro change. It is fixed by a later patch
in this series ("perf session: Add validated swap
infrastructure with null-termination checks"), which changes
the guard to time_mask. The struct assignment overread
(session->time_conv = event->time_conv copies sizeof on a
potentially shorter event) is separately fixed by "perf
session: Use bounded copy for PERF_RECORD_TIME_CONV".
