From 8176cced706b5e5d15887584150764894e94e02f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tommi Rantala Date: Sat, 13 Apr 2013 22:49:14 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Treat attr.config as u64 in perf_swevent_init() Trinity discovered that we fail to check all 64 bits of attr.config passed by user space, resulting to out-of-bounds access of the perf_swevent_enabled array in sw_perf_event_destroy(). Introduced in commit b0a873ebb ("perf: Register PMU implementations").
