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.

Did syzbot also test this that it fixes the reported issue?
What commit does this fix? Should it go back farther to stable releases
too?
thanks,

I really hate these macros. I don't think we can actually use them here
without an out of bounds depending on the driver.
What happens is that:
con_font_set() allocates data:
font.data = memdup_user(op->data, size);
Then it calls vc->vc_sw->con_font_set(vc, &font, op->flags);
Two of those function implementations newport_set_font() and
fbcon_set_font() make a new allocation, but with a secret extra buffer
to store extra data at the beginning.
2645 static int fbcon_set_font(struct vc_data *vc, struct console_font *font,
2646 unsigned int flags)
2647 {
2648 struct fb_info *info = registered_fb[con2fb_map[vc->vc_num]];
2649 unsigned charcount = font->charcount;
2650 int w = font->width;
2651 int h = font->height;
2652 int size;
2653 int i, csum;
2654 u8 *new_data, *data = font->data;
2655 int pitch = (font->width+7) >> 3;
2656
2657 /* Is there a reason why fbconsole couldn't handle any charcount >256?
2658 * If not this check should be changed to charcount < 256 */
2659 if (charcount != 256 && charcount != 512)
2660 return -EINVAL;
2661
2662 /* Make sure drawing engine can handle the font */
2663 if (!(info->pixmap.blit_x & (1 << (font->width - 1))) ||
2664 !(info->pixmap.blit_y & (1 << (font->height - 1))))
2665 return -EINVAL;
2666
2667 /* Make sure driver can handle the font length */
2668 if (fbcon_invalid_charcount(info, charcount))
2669 return -EINVAL;
2670
2671 size = h * pitch * charcount;
2672
2673 new_data = kmalloc(FONT_EXTRA_WORDS * sizeof(int) + size, GFP_USER);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Extra space to store hidden data.
2674
2675 if (!new_data)
2676 return -ENOMEM;
2677
2678 new_data += FONT_EXTRA_WORDS * sizeof(int);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hide the new data forever.
2679 FNTSIZE(new_data) = size;
2680 FNTCHARCNT(new_data) = charcount;
2681 REFCOUNT(new_data) = 0; /* usage counter */
2682 for (i=0; i< charcount; i++) {
2683 memcpy(new_data + i*h*pitch, data + i*32*pitch, h*pitch);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Copy the user font data to the new buffer one element at a time?
2684 }
2685
2686 /* Since linux has a nice crc32 function use it for counting font
2687 * checksums. */
2688 csum = crc32(0, new_data, size);
2689
So only the two drivers with the secret extra buffer can use FNTSIZE()
and friends.

dan carpenter

Hi Greg,
I will re-work this patch based on comments from Dan.
Thank you,
George
