Subject: [PATCH 09/23] perf hwmon: Fix off-by-one null termination on sysfs reads
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:51:42 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610195157.2091137-10-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610195157.2091137-1-acme@kernel.org>

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

Three functions read sysfs files into fixed-size stack buffers using
the full buffer size, then null-terminate at buf[read_len].  If the
read fills the buffer exactly, read_len equals sizeof(buf) and the
null byte writes one past the array, corrupting an adjacent stack
variable.

Fix all three by reading sizeof(buf) - 1 bytes, reserving space for
the null terminator:

  - hwmon_pmu__read_events(): buf[128]
  - hwmon_pmu__describe_items(): buf[64]
  - evsel__hwmon_pmu_read(): buf[32]

Fixes: 53cc0b351ec99278 ("perf hwmon_pmu: Add a tool PMU exposing events from hwmon in sysfs")
