Subject: perf_counter: Fix buffer overflow in perf_copy_attr()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b3e62e35058fc744ac794611f4e79bcd1c5a4b83;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

perf_counter: Fix buffer overflow in perf_copy_attr()

If we pass a big size data over perf_counter_open() syscall,
the kernel will copy this data to a small buffer, it will
cause kernel crash.

This bug makes the kernel unsafe and non-root local user can
trigger it.
