commit b2b2dd71e0859436d4e05b2f61f86140250ed3f8 upstream.

Do not try to handle keycodes that are too big, otherwise we risk doing
out-of-bounds writes:

In this case we were dealing with a fuzzed HID device that declared over
12K buttons, and while HID layer should not be reporting to us such big
keycodes, we should also be defensive and reject invalid data ourselves as
well.

commit 46ca3f735f345c9d87383dd3a09fa5d43870770e upstream.

The bug manifests as an attempt to access deallocated memory:

     do_syscall_64+0x54/0xe0
     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

The bug manifests on systemd systems with multiple vtcon devices:
  # cat /sys/devices/virtual/vtconsole/vtcon0/name
  (S) dummy device
  # cat /sys/devices/virtual/vtconsole/vtcon1/name
  (M) frame buffer device

There systemd runs 'loadkeys' tool in tapallel for each vtcon
instance. This causes two parallel ioctl(KDSKBSENT) calls to
race into adding the same entry into 'func_table' array at:

    drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:vt_do_kdgkb_ioctl()

The function has no locking around writes to 'func_table'.

The simplest reproducer is to have initrams with the following
init on a 8-CPU machine x86_64:

    #!/bin/sh

    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &amp;
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &amp;
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &amp;
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &amp;

    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &amp;
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &amp;
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &amp;
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &amp;
    wait

The change adds lock on write path only. Reads are still racy.

commit e97267cb4d1ee01ca0929638ec0fcbb0904f903d upstream.

vsa.console is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:711 vt_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue
'vc_cons' [r]

Fix this by sanitizing vsa.console before using it to index vc_cons

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

commit 34902b7f2754e6d890feb0cee34187f1bc75c930 upstream.

Some code in vc_allocate is indented by 4 spaces. It is inside a
condition. Invert the condition and move the code to the first
indentation level (using \tab). And insert some empty lines to have
logical code blocks separated.

Then, instead of freeing in an 'if' false branch, use goto-error
label as fail path.

Maybe better to look at this patch with diff -w -b.

commit 182846a00f489849c55d113954f0c4a8a286ca39 upstream.

MAX_NR_CONSOLES and MAX_NR_USER_CONSOLES are both 63 since they were
introduced in 1.1.54. And since vc_allocate does:

if (currcons &gt;= MAX_NR_CONSOLES)
	return -ENXIO;

if (!vc_cons[currcons].d) {
	if (currcons &gt;= MAX_NR_USER_CONSOLES &amp;&amp; !capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE))
		return -EPERM;
}

the second check is pointless. Remove both the check and the macro
MAX_NR_USER_CONSOLES.

<title>vt: change SGR 21 to follow the standards</title>

commit 65d9982d7e523a1a8e7c9af012da0d166f72fc56 upstream.

ECMA-48 [1] (aka ISO 6429) has defined SGR 21 as "doubly underlined"
since at least March 1984.  The Linux kernel has treated it as SGR 22
"normal intensity" since it was added in Linux-0.96b in June 1992.
Before that, it was simply ignored.  Other terminal emulators have
either ignored it, or treat it as double underline now.  xterm for
example added support in its 304 release (May 2014) [2] where it was
previously ignoring it.

Changing this behavior shouldn't be an issue:
- It isn't a named capability in ncurses's terminfo database, so no
  script is using libtinfo/libcurses to look this up, or using tput
  to query &amp; output the right sequence.
- Any script assuming SGR 21 will reset intensity in all terminals
  already do not work correctly on non-Linux VTs (including running
  under screen/tmux/etc...).
- If someone has written a script that only runs in the Linux VT, and
  they're using SGR 21 (instead of SGR 22), the output should still
  be readable.

imo it's important to change this as the Linux VT's non-conformance
is sometimes used as an argument for other terminal emulators to not
implement SGR 21 at all, or do so incorrectly.

commit f1869a890cdedb92a3fab969db5d0fd982850273 upstream.

Tabs on a console with long lines do not wrap properly, so correctly
account for the line length when computing the tab placement location.
