vt: defkeymap: Map keycodes above 127 to K_HOLE

2025-08-28T14:22:49+00:00

commit b43cb4ff85da5cf29c4cd351ef1d7dd8210780f7 upstream.

The maximum number of keycodes got bumped to 256 a very long time ago,
but the default keymaps were never adjusted to match. This is causing
the kernel to interpret keycodes above 127 as U+0000 if the shipped
generated keymap is used.

Fix this by mapping all keycodes above 127 to K_HOLE so the kernel
ignores them.

The contents of this patche were generated by rerunning `loadkeys
--mktable --unicode` and only including the changes to map keycodes
above 127 to K_HOLE.

vt: keyboard: Don't process Unicode characters in K_OFF mode

2025-08-28T14:22:49+00:00

commit b1cc2092ea7a52e2c435aee6d2b1bcb773202663 upstream.

We don't process Unicode characters if the virtual terminal is in raw
mode, so there's no reason why we shouldn't do the same for K_OFF
(especially since people would expect K_OFF to actually turn off all VT
key processing).

vt: add missing notification when switching back to text mode

2025-07-17T16:28:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit ff78538e07fa284ce08cbbcb0730daa91ed16722 ]

Programs using poll() on /dev/vcsa to be notified when VT changes occur
were missing one case: the switch from gfx to text mode.

vt: prevent kernel-infoleak in con_font_get()

2024-11-08T15:22:04+00:00

commit f956052e00de211b5c9ebaa1958366c23f82ee9e upstream.

font.data may not initialize all memory spaces depending on the implementation
of vc->vc_sw->con_font_get. This may cause info-leak, so to prevent this, it
is safest to modify it to initialize the allocated memory space to 0, and it
generally does not affect the overall performance of the system.

vt: fix unicode buffer corruption when deleting characters

commit 1581dafaf0d34bc9c428a794a22110d7046d186d upstream.

This is the same issue that was fixed for the VGA text buffer in commit
39cdb68c64d8 ("vt: fix memory overlapping when deleting chars in the
buffer"). The cure is also the same i.e. replace memcpy() with memmove()
due to the overlaping buffers.

tty: vt: fix 20 vs 0x20 typo in EScsiignore

[ Upstream commit 0e6a92f67c8a94707f7bb27ac29e2bdf3e7c167d ]

The if (c >= 20 && c <= 0x3f) test added in commit 7a99565f8732 is
wrong.  20 is DC4 in ascii and it makes no sense to consider that as the
bottom limit. Instead, it should be 0x20 as in the other test in
the commit above. This is supposed to NOT change anything as we handle
interesting 20-0x20 asciis far before this if.

So for sakeness, change to 0x20 (which is SPACE).

vc_screen: reload load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_write() to avoid UAF

2023-05-30T11:57:55+00:00

commit 8fb9ea65c9d1338b0d2bb0a9122dc942cdd32357 upstream.

After a call to console_unlock() in vcs_write() the vc_data struct can be
freed by vc_port_destruct(). Because of that, the struct vc_data pointer
must be reloaded in the while loop in vcs_write() after console_lock() to
avoid a UAF when vcs_size() is called.

Syzkaller reported a UAF in vcs_size().

vc_screen: don't clobber return value in vcs_read

2023-03-03T10:44:51+00:00

commit ae3419fbac845b4d3f3a9fae4cc80c68d82cdf6e upstream.

Commit 226fae124b2d ("vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in
vcs_read() to avoid UAF") moved the call to vcs_vc() into the loop.

While doing this it also moved the unconditional assignment of

	ret = -ENXIO;

This unconditional assignment was valid outside the loop but within it
it clobbers the actual value of ret.

To avoid this only assign "ret = -ENXIO" when actually needed.

[ Also, the 'goto unlock_out" needs to be just a "break", so that it
  does the right thing when it exits on later iterations when partial
  success has happened - Linus ]
