Subject: perf cs-etm: Reject CPU IDs that would overflow signed comparison
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=542e88a4c6f7b6edd1326ce767d4cb3c2ea9d61d;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

perf cs-etm: Reject CPU IDs that would overflow signed comparison

metadata[j][CS_ETM_CPU] is a u64 from perf.data, but the comparison
with max_cpu casts it to (int).  A crafted value like 0xFFFFFFFF becomes
-1 after the cast, which compares less than max_cpu (0), so the queue
array is never sized to accommodate it.  When the value is later passed
to cs_etm__get_queue(), it indexes queue_array with the original large
value, causing an out-of-bounds access.

Validate that CS_ETM_CPU fits in an int before using it in the signed
comparison.
