Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: Fix out-of-bound vmalloc access in imageblit 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 made the resize_screen() be called even if the screen does not need any resizing, so it will "fix and fill" the fb_var_screeninfo independently.

Este problema ocurre cuando un programa de espacio de usuario realiza un ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO pasando la estructura fb_var_screeninfo que contiene solo los campos xres, yres y bits_per_pixel con valores. Si esta estructura es la misma que la ioctl anterior, vc_resize() la detecta y no llama a resize_screen(), dejando fb_var_screeninfo incompleto. Y esto lleva a que updatecrollmode() calcule un valor incorrecto para fbcon_display-\u0026gt;vrows, lo que hace que real_y() devuelva un valor incorrecto de y, y ese valor, eventualmente, hace que imageblit acceda a un valor de direcci\u00f3n fuera de los l\u00edmites. .
