Subject: [PATCH 4/8] perf machine: Check snprintf truncation in machines__findnew()
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 20:40:10 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260726234014.63111-5-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260726234014.63111-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The guestmount path is built with snprintf() into a PATH_MAX buffer
without checking the return value.  If symbol_conf.guestmount is long
enough to cause truncation, the truncated path could match a different
directory, causing the wrong guest to be associated with the pid.

Check for truncation and bail out early.

Fixes: a1645ce12adb ("perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host")
