[PATCH 3/8] perf c2c: Bounds-check CPU and node IDs before bitmap and array access
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Fri Jun 05 2026 - 16:39:06 EST
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>
c2c_he__set_cpu() passes sample->cpu directly to __set_bit(cpu, cpuset)
after only checking for the (u32)-1 sentinel. The cpuset bitmap is
allocated with c2c.cpus_cnt bits (from env->nr_cpus_avail), so a crafted
perf.data with CPU IDs exceeding that count causes out-of-bounds heap
writes.
c2c_he__set_node() similarly passes the node ID from mem2node__node()
to __set_bit(node, nodeset) after only checking for negative values.
The nodeset bitmap is sized to c2c.nodes_cnt (from env->nr_numa_nodes),
so a node ID exceeding that causes OOB writes.
process_sample_event() indexes c2c.cpu2node[cpu] and
c2c_he->node_stats[node] without bounds checking. Both arrays are
sized to c2c.cpus_cnt and c2c.nodes_cnt respectively.
Add bounds checks in all three paths:
- c2c_he__set_cpu(): return if sample->cpu >= c2c.cpus_cnt
- c2c_he__set_node(): return if node >= c2c.nodes_cnt
- process_sample_event(): clamp cpu to 0 if >= cpus_cnt,
guard node_stats access with bounds check
