Subject: [PATCH 05/15] perf dso: Fix heap overflow in dso__get_filename() on decompressed path
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 21:34:33 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612003444.50723-6-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260612003444.50723-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
dso__get_filename() allocates name with malloc(PATH_MAX), but the
dso__filename_with_chroot() path replaces name with an asprintf'd
exact-size string (e.g. 8 bytes for "/a/b.ko"). When the DSO needs
decompression, dso__decompress_kmodule_path() writes the temp path
("/tmp/perf-kmod-XXXXXX", 22 bytes) into newpath, and strcpy(name,
newpath) overflows the smaller allocation.
Replace the strcpy with strdup(newpath) + free(name) so the buffer
is always correctly sized for its content.
