DEBIAN-CVE-2026-80671
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf sched: Fix registerpid() overflow, strcpy, and BUGON registerpid() has several issues when processing untrusted perf.data: 1. Integer overflow: (pid + 1) * sizeof(struct taskdesc *) can wrap to a small value on 32-bit systems when pid is large (e.g. 0x40000000), causing realloc to return a tiny buffer followed by out-of-bounds writes in the initialization loop. 2. Heap buffer overflow: strcpy(task->comm, comm) copies the untrusted comm string into a fixed 20-byte COMMLEN buffer with no length check. 3. BUGON on allocation failure: perf.data is untrusted input, so allocation failures should be handled gracefully rather than killing the process. 4. Realloc of sched->tasks assigned directly back, leaking the old pointer on failure; nrtasks incremented before the realloc, leaving corrupted state on failure. Cap pid at PIDMAXLIMIT (4194304, matching the kernel's maximum on 64-bit), replace strcpy with strlcpy, guard against NULL comm, replace BUGON with NULL returns using safe realloc patterns, and add NULL checks in callers that dereference the result.
