This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
vt_ioctl: make VT_RESIZEX behave like VT_RESIZE
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: vt_ioctl: make VT_RESIZEX behave like VT_RESIZE
syzbot is reporting UAF/OOB read at bit_putcs()/soft_cursor() [1][2], for
vt_resizex() from ioctl(VT_RESIZEX) allows setting font height larger than
actual font height calculated by con_font_set() from ioctl(PIO_FONT).
Since fbcon_set_font() from con_font_set() allocates minimal amount of
memory based on actual font height calculated by con_font_set(),
use of vt_resizex() can cause UAF/OOB read for font data.
VT_RESIZEX was introduced in Linux 1.3.3, but it is unclear that what
comes to the "+ more" part, and I couldn't find a user of VT_RESIZEX.
#define VT_RESIZE 0x5609 /* set kernel's idea of screensize */
#define VT_RESIZEX 0x560A /* set kernel's idea of screensize + more */
So far we are not aware of syzbot reports caused by setting non-zero value
to v_vlin parameter. But given that it is possible that nobody is using
VT_RESIZEX, we can try removing support for v_clin and v_vlin parameters.
Therefore, this patch effectively makes VT_RESIZEX behave like VT_RESIZE,
with emitting a message if somebody is still using v_clin and/or v_vlin
parameters.
