[PATCH RFC] tty: Fix out-of-bound vmalloc access in imageblit

From: Igor Matheus Andrade Torrente
Date: Mon May 31 2021 - 08:47:59 EST


This issue happens when a userspace program does an ioctl
FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO passing the fb_var_screeninfo struct
containing only the fields xres, yres, and bits_per_pixel
with values.

If this struct is the same as the previous ioctl, the
vc_resize() detects it and doesn't call the resize_screen(),
leaving the fb_var_screeninfo incomplete. And this leads to
the updatescrollmode() calculates a wrong value to
fbcon_display->vrows, which makes the real_y() return a
wrong value of y, and that value, eventually, causes
the imageblit to access an out-of-bound address value.

To solve this issue I brougth the resize_screen() the
beginning of vc_do_resize(), so it will "fix and fill"
the fb_var_screeninfo even if the screen does not need any
resizing.
