Subject: [PATCH 2/3] perf record: Avoid overrunning the zstd output buffer
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 15:59:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7860259ac13e539dfb907489be29d0487d36aeb8.1781797544.git.d@ilvokhin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1781797544.git.d@ilvokhin.com>
zstd_compress_stream_to_records() compresses one mmap chunk into 'dst'
as a chain of records, decrementing 'dst_size' as each record's header
and compressed payload are written, but it never checks that the space
left can still hold a record before writing one.
When the compressed output does not fit in 'dst', 'dst_size -= size'
underflows ('dst_size' is a size_t), the output size is then taken as
max_record_size again, and ZSTD_compressStream() writes past the end
of 'dst'.
Bail out when the remaining 'dst_size' can no longer hold a full record
(header + max_record_size + 8-byte alignment) rather than writing past
'dst'.
Fixes: f24c1d7523e6 ("perf tools: Introduce Zstd streaming based compression API")
