This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tty: fix out-of-bounds access in tty_driver_lookup_tty() to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tty-fix-out-of-bounds-access-in-tty_driver_lookup_tt.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f17401194dfef81639d54ab83483700b4aa9715e Author: Sven Schnelle <svens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 9 12:27:36 2022 +0100 tty: fix out-of-bounds access in tty_driver_lookup_tty() [ Upstream commit db4df8e9d79e7d37732c1a1b560958e8dadfefa1 ] 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.
