Subject: [PATCH 15/15] perf cs-etm: Reject CPU IDs that would overflow signed comparison
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 21:34:43 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612003444.50723-16-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260612003444.50723-1-acme@kernel.org>

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

metadata[j][CS_ETM_CPU] is a u64 from perf.data, but the comparison
with max_cpu casts it to (int).  A crafted value like 0xFFFFFFFF becomes
-1 after the cast, which compares less than max_cpu (0), so the queue
array is never sized to accommodate it.  When the value is later passed
to cs_etm__get_queue(), it indexes queue_array with the original large
value, causing an out-of-bounds access.

Validate that CS_ETM_CPU fits in an int before using it in the signed
comparison.

Fixes: 57880a7966be510c ("perf: cs-etm: Allocate queues for all CPUs")
