[PATCH 5.10 031/545] tty: vt: initialize unicode screen buffer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit af77c56aa35325daa2bc2bed5c2ebf169be61b86 upstream.

syzbot reports kernel infoleak at vcs_read() [1], for buffer can be read
immediately after resize operation. Initialize buffer using kzalloc().

  ----------
  #include <fcntl.h>
  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <sys/ioctl.h>
  #include <linux/fb.h>

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
    struct fb_var_screeninfo var = { };
    const int fb_fd = open("/dev/fb0", 3);
    ioctl(fb_fd, FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO, &var);
    var.yres = 0x21;
    ioctl(fb_fd, FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, &var);
    return read(open("/dev/vcsu", O_RDONLY), &var, sizeof(var)) == -1;
  }
  ----------
