Subject: [PATCH 11/12] perf jitdump: Validate sym string NUL-termination in code load
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 10:30:10 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805133013.235016-12-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805133013.235016-1-acme@kernel.org>

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

jit_repipe_code_load() computes sym = (void *)jr + sizeof(jr->load) and
passes it to jit_emit_elf() which calls strlen(sym) via jit_write_elf().
If code_size equals total_size - sizeof(jr->load), the sym pointer
aliases the code blob with no NUL terminator, and strlen() scans past
the buffer into adjacent heap memory.

Add a memchr() check to verify the symbol name is NUL-terminated within
the region between the load header and the code blob before use.

Fixes: 598b7c6919c7bbcc ("perf jit: add source line info support")
