This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing: Add size check when printing trace_marker output to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-add-size-check-when-printing-trace_marker-ou.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3236c58263eb8574ae91c69ae30aaac03b4109d0 Author: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 12 08:44:44 2023 -0500 tracing: Add size check when printing trace_marker output [ Upstream commit 60be76eeabb3d83858cc6577fc65c7d0f36ffd42 ] If for some reason the trace_marker write does not have a nul byte for the string, it will overflow the print: trace_seq_printf(s, ": %s", field->buf); The field->buf could be missing the nul byte. To prevent overflow, add the max size that the buf can be by using the event size and the field location. int max = iter->ent_size - offsetof(struct print_entry, buf); trace_seq_printf(s, ": %*.s", max, field->buf); Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231212084444.4619b8ce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_output.c b/kernel/trace/trace_output.c index b194dd1c8420..9ffe54ff3edb 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace_output.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_output.c @@ -1291,11 +1291,12 @@ static enum print_line_t trace_print_print(struct trace_iterator *iter, { struct print_entry *field; struct trace_seq *s = &iter->seq; + int max = iter->ent_size - offsetof(struct print_entry, buf); trace_assign_type(field, iter->ent); seq_print_ip_sym(s, field->ip, flags); - trace_seq_printf(s, ": %s", field->buf); + trace_seq_printf(s, ": %.*s", max, field->buf); return trace_handle_return(s); } @@ -1304,10 +1305,11 @@ static enum print_line_t trace_print_raw(struct trace_iterator *iter, int flags, struct trace_event *event) { struct print_entry *field; + int max = iter->ent_size - offsetof(struct print_entry, buf); trace_assign_type(field, iter->ent); - trace_seq_printf(&iter->seq, "# %lx %s", field->ip, field->buf); + trace_seq_printf(&iter->seq, "# %lx %.*s", field->ip, max, field->buf); return trace_handle_return(&iter->seq); }
