Subject: [PATCH 06/27] perf session: Fix swap_sample_id_all() crash on crafted events
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 22:09:51 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521011027.622268-7-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260521011027.622268-1-acme@kernel.org>

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

swap_sample_id_all() calls BUG_ON(size % sizeof(u64)) which kills
perf on any event where the sample_id_all tail is not 8-byte aligned.
A crafted perf.data can trigger this trivially.

Replace BUG_ON with a bounds check: skip the swap if the data pointer
is past the end of the event, and only swap when there are bytes
remaining.

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").
