Subject: [PATCH] perf powerpc-vpadtl: Fix off-by-one in auxtrace_info minimum size check
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 10:55:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824025553.363863-1-wangyan01@kylinos.cn> (raw)

min_sz is set to sizeof(u64) * POWERPC_VPADTL_TYPE, but the code reads
auxtrace_info->priv[POWERPC_VPADTL_TYPE], which needs at least
POWERPC_VPADTL_TYPE + 1 elements.  POWERPC_VPADTL_TYPE is the first
enumerator of the priv index enum (0), so min_sz evaluates to 0 and the
check validates only the perf_record_auxtrace_info header itself.  A
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO event carrying a zero-length priv array then
passes the size check, and the subsequent priv[POWERPC_VPADTL_TYPE]
read runs one u64 past the validated region.

This is the same off-by-one fixed for Intel PT by commit c4362d5e1a5e
("perf intel-pt: Fix off-by-one in auxtrace_info minimum size check")
and for Intel BTS by commit b9fb8225951c ("perf intel-bts: Fix off-by-one
in auxtrace_info minimum size check").

Use sizeof(u64) * (POWERPC_VPADTL_TYPE + 1) so the highest accessed
priv index is covered by the minimum-size validation.

Fixes: c4bbd4ec2e50 ("perf powerpc: Process auxtrace events and display in 'perf report -D'")
