Subject: [PATCH 5/9] perf cs-etm: Bounds-check CPU in cs_etm__get_queue()
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 23:27:11 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616022715.5739-6-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616022715.5739-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
cs_etm__get_queue() indexes etm->queues.queue_array[cpu] without
validating that cpu is within nr_queues. When processing
AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID events, the cpu value comes from untrusted perf.data
trace payload and flows through cs_etm__process_trace_id_v0_1() and
cs_etm__queue_aux_fragment() without bounds checking, allowing an
out-of-bounds read with a crafted file.
Add a bounds check in cs_etm__get_queue() and NULL checks in all
callers.
Also add NULL checks for queue_array[i].priv in the queue iteration
loops in cs_etm__map_trace_id_v0() and cs_etm__process_trace_id_v0_1()
— after auxtrace_queues__grow() new entries are zero-initialized so
.priv can be NULL. Add a get_cpu_data() NULL check in
cs_etm__process_trace_id_v0_1(), matching the existing check in
cs_etm__process_trace_id_v0().
Fixes: 77c123f53e97ad4b ("perf: cs-etm: Move traceid_list to each queue")
