Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
coresight: tmc-etf: Fix global-out-of-bounds in tmc_update_etf_buffer()
commit 6f755e85c332 ("coresight: Add helper for inserting synchronization
packets") removed trailing '\0' from barrier_pkt array and updated the
call sites like etb_update_buffer() to have proper checks for barrier_pkt
size before read but missed updating tmc_update_etf_buffer() which still
reads barrier_pkt past the array size resulting in KASAN out-of-bounds
bug. Fix this by adding a check for barrier_pkt size before accessing
like it is done in etb_update_buffer().
