DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

perf/core: Fix perf_output_begin parameter is incorrectly invoked in perf_event_bpf_output

syzkaller reportes a KASAN issue with stack-out-of-bounds. The call trace is as follows: dump_stack+0x9c/0xd3 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x19/0x170 __kasan_report.cold+0x6c/0x84 kasan_report+0x3a/0x50 __perf_event_header__init_id+0x34/0x290 perf_event_header__init_id+0x48/0x60 perf_output_begin+0x4a4/0x560 perf_event_bpf_output+0x161/0x1e0 perf_iterate_sb_cpu+0x29e/0x340 perf_iterate_sb+0x4c/0xc0 perf_event_bpf_event+0x194/0x2c0 __bpf_prog_put.constprop.0+0x55/0xf0 __cls_bpf_delete_prog+0xea/0x120 [cls_bpf] cls_bpf_delete_prog_work+0x1c/0x30 [cls_bpf] process_one_work+0x3c2/0x730 worker_thread+0x93/0x650 kthread+0x1b8/0x210 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

commit 267fb27352b6 ("perf: Reduce stack usage of perf_output_begin()") use on-stack struct perf_sample_data of the caller function.

However, perf_event_bpf_output uses incorrect parameter to convert small-sized data (struct perf_bpf_event) into large-sized data (struct perf_sample_data), which causes memory overwriting occurs in __perf_event_header__init_id.

AnalysisAI

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Fix perf_output_begin parameter is incorrectly invoked in perf_event_bpf_output syzkaller reportes a KASAN issue with. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability could allow attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes.
