Subject: [PATCH 8/9] perf bpf: Validate array presence before casting BPF prog info pointers
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 23:27:14 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616022715.5739-9-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616022715.5739-1-acme@kernel.org>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Several functions cast bpf_prog_info fields (jited_ksyms,
jited_func_lens, jited_prog_insns) from u64 to pointers and
dereference them. These fields are only valid pointers if
bpil_offs_to_addr() converted their file offsets to addresses, which
only happens when the corresponding PERF_BPIL_* bits are set in
info_linear->arrays.
A crafted perf.data can leave these bits unset while setting non-zero
counts and offset values, causing the functions to dereference raw file
offsets as pointers.
Add array bitmask validation to all perf.data processing paths:
- __bpf_event__print_bpf_prog_info(): check JITED_KSYMS and
JITED_FUNC_LENS (changed to take struct perf_bpil *)
- machine__process_bpf_event_load(): check JITED_KSYMS
- bpf_read(): check JITED_INSNS before memcpy from jited_prog_insns
- dso__disassemble_filename(): check JITED_INSNS before returning
jited_prog_insns pointer
Fixes: f8dfeae009effc0b ("perf bpf: Show more BPF program info in print_bpf_prog_info()")
