[PATCH 0/5] fbcon: Fixes for screen resolution changes - round 2

[Helge Deller]

This series fixes possible out-of-bound memory accesses when users trigger
screen resolutions changes with invalid input parameters, e.g. reconfigures
screen which is smaller than the current font size, or if the virtual screen
size is smaller than the physical screen size.

Helge Deller (5):
  fbcon: Disallow setting font bigger than screen size
  fbcon: Fix up user-provided virtual screen size
  fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size
  fbmem: Prevent invalid virtual screen sizes in fb_set_var()
  fbcon: Use fbcon_info_from_console() in fbcon_modechange_possible()

[PATCH 1/5] fbcon: Disallow setting font bigger than screen size

[Helge Deller]

Prevent that users set a font size which is bigger than the physical screen.
It's unlikely this may happen (because screens are usually much larger than the
fonts and each font char is limited to 32x32 pixels), but it may happen on
smaller screens/LCD displays.

Note that we already have local vars w and h, albeit with the wrong
signedness.

There were already more opportunities for using w and h before...

I don't like the "h" and "w" variables. Maybe something like "fh" for "font-heigth"
would have been better explaining which kind of "h" is meant.
I assume that's why the patch below didn't used it either.

That said, I'd like to keep it as is (at least for now).

[PATCH 2/5] fbcon: Fix up user-provided virtual screen size

[Helge Deller]

The virtual screen size can't be smaller than the physical screen size.
Based on the general rule that we round up user-provided input if
neccessary, adjust the virtual screen size as well if needed.

Given "[PATCH 4/5] fbmem: Prevent invalid virtual screen sizes in
fb_set_var", I don't think we need this patch.  Moreover, this
patch will prevent triggering the WARN_ON()s in [PATCH 4/5] in the
most common buggy case of drivers plainly ignoring var.[xy]res_virtual.

Right.

In summary:
This patch #2 is fixing up user-space invalid input and is not
allowed to trigger any WARN_ON().

We could drop patch #4, but then we wouldn't catch bad drivers.

Why? It will be caught by [PATCH 4/5].

It's the responsibility of the driver to at least look at its parameters.
What other invalid values might it let pass, that we cannot catch
at the generic level?

I do want to keep patch #4.

Right, it will be caught by patch #4.
But if you drop this part, then everytime a user runs
	fbset -xres 800 -yres 600 -xvres 200
users will get the KERNEL BUG WARNING (from patch #4) including
a kernel backtrace in their syslogs.
This is not what you want.

If you drop the WARN() from patch #4 you'll end up with my
last patch series.

No, they will only see that warning if they are using a broken fbdev
driver that implements .fb_check_var(), but fails to validate or
update the passed geometry.

IMHO this argument is mood.
That way you put pressure on and need such simple code in
each single driver to fix it up, instead of cleaning it up at a central
place.

Most hardware has restrictions on resolution (e.g. xres must be a
multiple of N), so the driver has to round up the resolution to make
it fit.  And after that the driver has to validate and update the
virtual resolution again anyway...

If a driver does not support changing the video mode, it can leave
out the .fb_check_var() and .fb_set_par() callbacks, so the fbdev
core will ignore the userspace-supplied parameters, and reinstate
the single supported mode. See e.g. "[PATCH] drm/fb-helper:
Remove helpers to change frame buffer config"
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220629105658.1373770-1-geert@linux-m68k.org).

I implemented all of your suggested changes - from this mail and the others.
I've committed a new testing tree to the fbcon-fix-testing branch at:
https://github.com/hdeller/linux/tree/fbcon-fix-testing
The diff is here:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/compare/master...hdeller:linux:fbcon-fix-testing

Although your idea is good since we now would find issues in the drivers,
I don't think we want to commit it, since the testcase from
the bug report then immediately crashes the kernel - see below.

I think we need to fix up earlier.
Your other patch to disable DRM's set_fb_var() might fix this specific issue,
but in general we may face other problems in other drivers too.
Thoughts?

That is expected behavior with panic_on_warn?
The right fix is to fix the broken .fb_check_var() implementation.

Oh well. You're right!
The kernel config had panic_on_warn enabled, which I didn't noticed.
I disabled that option and now it works:

[PATCH 3/5] fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size

[Helge Deller]

We need to prevent that users configure a screen size which is smaller than the
currently selected font size. Otherwise rendering chars on the screen will
access memory outside the graphics memory region.

This patch adds a new function fbcon_modechange_possible() which
implements this check and which later may be extended with other checks
if necessary.  The new function is called from the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO
ioctl handler in fbmem.c, which will return -EINVAL if userspace asked
for a too small screen size.

So if the virtual console is _not_ used as a text console, we refuse
mode changes?

IMHO this looks way too fragile, and we should fix the rendering code
to handle cols == 0 || rows == 0 instead...

Looks like registered_fb[] is wrong since commit cad564ca557f8d3b
("fbcon: Fix boundary checks for fbcon=vc:n1-n2 parameters")?

Long-term we might need both.
The code above will at least return EINVAL if users try it, while
the cols/rows=0 code just prevents rendering if it doesn't fit.

[PATCH 4/5] fbmem: Prevent invalid virtual screen sizes in fb_set_var()

[Helge Deller]

Prevent that drivers configure a virtual screen resolution smaller than
the physical screen resolution.  This is important, because otherwise we
may access memory outside of the graphics memory area.

This should be moved below the call to info->fbops->fb_check_var(),
so the WARN_ON() catches buggy fbdev drivers, not userspace fuzzers.

And print the name of the frame buffer device driver, so people know
who to blame.

Or better, do not continue, but return with a failure:

    if (WARN(var->xres_virtual < var->xres || var->yres_virtual < var->yres,
        "%ps for %s is broken\n", info->fbops->fb_check_var, info->fix.id)
            return -EINVAL;

Yes, that's probably better. Will do.

Use the fbcon_info_from_console() wrapper which was added to kernel
