4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: George Kennedy <george.kennedy@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 226fae124b2dac217ea5436060d623ff3385bc34 upstream. After a call to console_unlock() in vcs_read() the vc_data struct can be freed by vc_deallocate(). Because of that, the struct vc_data pointer load must be done at the top of while loop in vcs_read() to avoid a UAF when vcs_size() is called. Syzkaller reported a UAF in vcs_size().
