Subject: [PATCH 10/11] perf hists: Fix snprintf() in hists__scnprintf_title() UID filter path
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 20:29:23 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607232925.1935819-11-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260607232925.1935819-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
hists__scnprintf_title() accumulates formatted output into a buffer
using scnprintf() for all filter clauses except the UID filter, which
uses snprintf(). If the buffer fills up and snprintf() returns more
than the remaining space, printed exceeds size and the next 'size -
printed' underflows, causing later scnprintf() calls to write past
the buffer.
Switch the UID filter clause to scnprintf() to match the rest of the
function.
Fixes: 25c312dbf88ca402 ("perf hists: Move hists__scnprintf_title() away from the TUI code")
