In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing/dma: Cap dma_map_sg tracepoint arrays to prevent buffer overflow The dma_map_sg tracepoint can trigger a perf buffer overflow when tracing large scatter-gather lists. With devices like virtio-gpu creating large DRM buffers, nents can exceed 1000 entries, resulting in: phys_addrs: 1000 * 8 bytes = 8,000 bytes dma_addrs: 1000 * 8 bytes = 8,000 bytes lengths: 1000 * 4 bytes = 4,000 bytes Total: ~20,000 bytes This exceeds PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE (8192 bytes), causing: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5497 at kernel/trace/trace_event_perf.c:405 perf buffer not large enough, wanted 24620, have 8192 Cap all three dynamic arrays at 128 entries using min() in the array size calculation.
