Subject: [PATCH 10/23] perf hwmon: Use scnprintf() in hwmon_pmu__for_each_event()
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:51:43 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610195157.2091137-11-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260610195157.2091137-1-acme@kernel.org>

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

hwmon_pmu__for_each_event() formats description strings via:

    len = snprintf(desc_buf, sizeof(desc_buf), "%s in unit %s named %s.", ...);
    len += hwmon_pmu__describe_items(hwm, desc_buf + len, sizeof(desc_buf) - len, ...);

If value->label is long enough to cause snprintf() to truncate, it
returns the would-have-been-written count, making len exceed
sizeof(desc_buf).  The subsequent sizeof(desc_buf) - len underflows
to a huge size_t value, disabling bounds checking in
hwmon_pmu__describe_items().

The alias_buf snprintf has the same issue.  Switch both to scnprintf()
which returns actual bytes written.

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