Subject: [PATCH 1/1] vt_ioctl: prevent VT_RESIZEX font height change from causing potential out-of-bounds access
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2020 08:39:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1596026381-5013-1-git-send-email-george.kennedy@oracle.com> (raw)

Add a VT_RESIZEX check to ensure that changing the font height will not
cause a potential out-of-bounds access. The candidate font height contained
in "v_clin", though below the max, could still result in accesses beyond
the allocated font data size.
