CVE-2023-53649

Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf trace: Really free the evsel->priv area In 3cb4d5e00e037c70 ("perf trace: Free syscall tp fields in evsel->priv") it only was freeing if strcmp(evsel->tp_format->system, "syscalls") returned zero, while the corresponding initialization of evsel->priv was being performed if it was not zero, i.e. if the tp system wasn't 'syscalls'. Just stop looking for that and free it if evsel->priv was set, which should be equivalent. Also use the pre-existing evsel_trace__delete() function. This resolves these leaks, detected with: $ make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address" BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 CORESIGHT=1 O=/tmp/build/perf-tools-next -C tools/perf install-bin

[root@quaco ~]# With this we plug all leaks with "perf trace sleep 1".

A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's perf trace tool in the event selector cleanup logic. A local user can trigger this issue by running perf trace commands, causing the tool to free memory based on an incorrect condition check that inverts the intended logic for non-syscall tracepoints. This results in allocated memory never being freed, leading to resource exhaustion and denial of service through memory depletion.
