Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fbcon: Prevent global-out-of-bounds read in fbcon_copy_font()
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2020 03:27:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <64b792b83119b0ec6caed9cb62087453b675c690.1604128640.git.yepeilin.cs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <c5563eeea36aae7bd72ea2e985bc610d585ece40.1604128639.git.yepeilin.cs@gmail.com>

fbcon_copy_font() is using a signed int, `con`, as an index into
`fb_display[MAX_NR_CONSOLES]`, without bounds checking. In
con_font_copy(), `con` is being silently casted from the unsigned
`op->height`.

Let con_font_copy() and fbcon_copy_font() pass `op->height` directly, and
add a range check in fbcon_copy_font(). Also, add a comment in
con_font_op() for less confusion, since ideally `op->height` should not be
used as a console index, as the field name suggests.

This patch depends on patch "console: Remove dummy con_font_op callback
implementations".
