From a761a2d8a7175b7b4e8525e0672e1a8d3c051001 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:10:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Ensure sscanf does not overrun the "mem" field Make the parsing robust. (perf has some other assumptions that BUFSIZE <= MAX_PATH which are not touched here) Reported-by: Jackie Chang Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Cc: Alan Cox Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-g2uoiwbrpiimb63rx32qv8ne@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/header.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/header.c b/tools/perf/util/header.c index bb3e0ede6183..893f8e2df928 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/header.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/header.c @@ -930,7 +930,7 @@ static int write_topo_node(int fd, int node) /* skip over invalid lines */ if (!strchr(buf, ':')) continue; - if (sscanf(buf, "%*s %*d %s %"PRIu64, field, &mem) != 2) + if (sscanf(buf, "%*s %*d %31s %"PRIu64, field, &mem) != 2) goto done; if (!strcmp(field, "MemTotal:")) mem_total = mem;
