Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 12/13] tracing: Prevent out-of-bounds read in glob matching
Date: Tue, 07 Jul 2026 09:46:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707134625.188028635@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260707134604.275787924@kernel.org

From: Huihui Huang <hhhuang@smu.edu.sg>

String event fields are not necessarily NUL-terminated, so the filter
predicate functions (filter_pred_string(), filter_pred_strloc() and
filter_pred_strrelloc()) pass the field length to the regex match
callbacks, and the length-aware matchers honour it.

regex_match_glob() was the exception: it ignored the length and called
glob_match(), which scans the string until it hits a NUL byte. Some
string fields are not NUL-terminated. One example is the dynamic char
array of the xfs_* namespace tracepoints, which is copied without a
trailing NUL. For such a field, glob matching reads past the end of
the event field, causing a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read in
glob_match(), reached via regex_match_glob() and filter_match_preds()
from the xfs_lookup tracepoint.

Add a length-bounded glob_match_len() and use it from regex_match_glob()
so glob matching always stops at the field boundary. The matching loop
is factored into a shared helper so glob_match() keeps its behaviour.

Fixes: 60f1d5e3bac4 ("ftrace: Support full glob matching")
