CVE-2024-38569 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drivers/perf: hisi_pcie: Fix out-of-bound access when valid event group The perf tool allows users to create event groups through following cmd [1], but the driver does not check whether the array index is out of bounds when writing data to the event_group array. If the number of events in an event_group is greater than HISI_PCIE_MAX_COUNTERS, the memory write overflow of event_group array occurs. Add array index check to fix the possible array out of bounds violation, and return directly when write new events are written to array bounds. There are 9 different events in an event_group. [1] perf stat -e '{pmu/event1/, ... ,pmu/event9/}'
A vulnerability allowing out-of-bounds memory writes has been identified in the Linux kernel's handling of performance events for HiSilicon PCIe. This issue arises because the driver does not properly validate array indices when writing to the event_group array. If an event group contains more events than the maximum counter limit, it can lead to a memory overflow. The vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel, where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for upgrading the kernel can be found in the official Linux kernel documentation.
