In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Bail out early if the request AUX area is out of bound When
perf-record with a large AUX area, e.g 4GB, it fails with: #perf record -C
0 -m ,4G -e arm_spe_0// – sleep 1 failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate
memory) and it reveals a WARNING with __alloc_pages(): ------------[ cut

‘rb->aux_pages’ allocated by kcalloc() is a pointer array which is used to
maintains AUX trace pages. The allocated page for this array is physically
contiguous (and virtually contiguous) with an order of 0…MAX_ORDER. If the
size of pointer array crosses the limitation set by MAX_ORDER, it reveals a
WARNING. So bail out early with -ENOMEM if the request AUX area is out of
bound, e.g.: #perf record -C 0 -m ,4G -e arm_spe_0// – sleep 1 failed to
mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
