[PATCH v2 1/2] tty: fix out-of-bounds access in tty_driver_lookup_tty()

From: Sven Schnelle
Date: Fri Dec 09 2022 - 06:28:14 EST


When specifying an invalid console= device like console=tty3270,
tty_driver_lookup_tty() returns the tty struct without checking
whether index is a valid number.

To reproduce:

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -nographic -serial mon:stdio \
-kernel ../linux-build-x86/arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
-append "console=ttyS0 console=tty3270"

This crashes with:
