Subject: [PATCH 06/28] perf session: Align auxtrace_info priv size before byte-swapping
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 00:33:57 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510033424.255812-7-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260510033424.255812-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
perf_event__auxtrace_info_swap() passes the raw remainder of
header.size to mem_bswap_64(), which swaps in 8-byte chunks.
If the size is not a multiple of 8, the last iteration reads and
writes 8 bytes from a shorter region, overrunning the event
buffer by up to 7 bytes.
Round down to a u64 boundary — priv[] is a u64 array, so any
unaligned tail is padding that doesn't need swapping.
Also fix swap_sample_id_all() which had the same issue — replace
BUG_ON(size % sizeof(u64)) with rounding down, since crafted
events may have unaligned trailing data.
Note: the strlen calls in string-field swap handlers (comm,
mmap, mmap2, cgroup) are replaced with bounded strnlen by the
next patch in this series ("perf session: Add validated swap
infrastructure with null-termination checks").
