Subject: [PATCH] bpftool: Fix out-of-bounds read in kprobe_multi link info dump
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 15:44:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010074435.1415234-1-chenyuan_fl@163.com> (raw)
From: Yuan Chen <chenyuan@kylinos.cn>
show_kprobe_multi_{plain,json}() walk the sorted kallsyms array against
the sorted addr/cookie array with j as a cursor into the latter. The
loop terminating condition is checked after the cursor has already been
used to access the array:
if (j++ == info->kprobe_multi.count)
break;
After all count entries have been printed, j has been bumped to count,
but the loop keeps running and dereferences data[count] -- one element
past the end of the calloc(count, sizeof(*data)) allocation -- while
comparing every remaining kallsyms symbol. If the out-of-bounds value
happens to match a symbol address, a bogus entry with a garbage
addr/cookie pair is printed to boot.
Fix the off-by-one by advancing the cursor before the comparison, so the
loop terminates as soon as the last entry has been printed.
Verified with an ASAN build of bpftool against a live kprobe_multi link
of 3 symbols:
before: ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow READ of size 8
at link.c:860 (show_kprobe_multi_plain) and link.c:352
(show_kprobe_multi_json), 0 bytes after the 48-byte
get_addr_cookie_array() allocation
after: clean output, no ASAN report
Fixes: edd7f49bb884 ("bpftool: Show kprobe_multi link info")
