[PATCH 11/12] perf jitdump: Validate sym string NUL-termination in code load

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

jit_repipe_code_load() computes sym = (void *)jr + sizeof(jr->load) and
passes it to jit_emit_elf() which calls strlen(sym) via jit_write_elf().
If code_size equals total_size - sizeof(jr->load), the sym pointer
aliases the code blob with no NUL terminator, and strlen() scans past
the buffer into adjacent heap memory.

Add a memchr() check to verify the symbol name is NUL-terminated within
the region between the load header and the code blob before use.

Fixes: 598b7c6919c7bbcc ("perf jit: add source line info support")
