Hi,
please backport the following commit[0] to all stable releases that
contain the commit
226fae124b2d ("vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_read() to avoid UAF")
Commit 46d733d0efc7 ("vc_screen: modify vcs_size() handling in vcs_read()") [1]
also tries to fix this commit but should not actually be necessary for a
proper fix. It may make sense to also backport for consistency.

vc_screen: don't clobber return value in vcs_read
Commit 226fae124b2d ("vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in
vcs_read() to avoid UAF") moved the call to vcs_vc() into the loop.
While doing this it also moved the unconditional assignment of
ret = -ENXIO;
This unconditional assignment was valid outside the loop but within it
it clobbers the actual value of ret.
To avoid this only assign "ret = -ENXIO" when actually needed.
[ Also, the 'goto unlock_out" needs to be just a "break", so that it
does the right thing when it exits on later iterations when partial
success has happened - Linus ]
