commit 7cf64b18b0b96e751178b8d0505d8466ff5a448f upstream.

vt_in_use() dereferences console_driver-&gt;ttys[i] without proper locking.
This is broken because the tty can be closed and freed concurrently.

We could fix this by using 'READ_ONCE(console_driver-&gt;ttys[i]) != NULL'
and skipping the check of tty_struct::count.  But, looking at
console_driver-&gt;ttys[i] isn't really appropriate anyway because even if
it is NULL the tty can still be in the process of being closed.

Instead, fix it by making vt_in_use() require console_lock() and check
whether the vt is allocated and has port refcount &gt; 1.  This works since
following the patch "vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use
virtual console" the port refcount is incremented while the vt is open.

Reproducer (very unreliable, but it worked for me after a few minutes):

	#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
	#include &lt;linux/vt.h&gt;

	int main()
	{
		int fd, nproc;
		struct vt_stat state;
		char ttyname[16];

		fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDONLY);
		for (nproc = 1; nproc &lt; 8; nproc *= 2)
			fork();
		for (;;) {
			sprintf(ttyname, "/dev/tty%d", rand() % 8);
			close(open(ttyname, O_RDONLY));
			ioctl(fd, VT_GETSTATE, &amp;state);
		}
	}

<title>vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use virtual console</title>

commit ca4463bf8438b403596edd0ec961ca0d4fbe0220 upstream.

The VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl can free a virtual console while tty_release()
is still running, causing a use-after-free in con_shutdown().  This
occurs because VT_DISALLOCATE considers a virtual console's
'struct vc_data' to be unused as soon as the corresponding tty's
refcount hits 0.  But actually it may be still being closed.

Fix this by making vc_data be reference-counted via the embedded
'struct tty_port'.  A newly allocated virtual console has refcount 1.
Opening it for the first time increments the refcount to 2.  Closing it
for the last time decrements the refcount (in tty_operations::cleanup()
so that it happens late enough), as does VT_DISALLOCATE.

Reproducer:
	#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
	#include &lt;linux/vt.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/ioctl.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

	int main()
	{
		if (fork()) {
			for (;;)
				close(open("/dev/tty5", O_RDWR));
		} else {
			int fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDWR);

			for (;;)
				ioctl(fd, VT_DISALLOCATE, 5);
		}
	}

commit 1aa6e058dd6cd04471b1f21298270014daf48ac9 upstream.

The vc_cons_allocated() checks in vt_ioctl() and vt_compat_ioctl() are
unnecessary because they can only be reached by calling ioctl() on an
open tty, which implies the corresponding virtual console is allocated.

And even if the virtual console *could* be freed concurrently, then
these checks would be broken since they aren't done under console_lock,
and the vc_data is dereferenced before them anyway.

So, remove these unneeded checks to avoid confusion.

commit dce05aa6eec977f1472abed95ccd71276b9a3864 upstream.

Avoid global variables (namely sel_cons) by introducing vc_is_sel. It
checks whether the parameter is the current selection console. This will
help putting sel_cons to a struct later.

sel_lock cannot nest in the console lock. Thanks to syzkaller, the

We need to nest the console lock in sel_lock, so we have to push it down
a bit. Fortunately, the callers of set_selection_* just lock the console
lock around the function call. So moving it down is easy.

In the next patch, we switch the order.

It is due to a race between parallel paste_selection (TIOCL_PASTESEL)
and set_selection_user (TIOCL_SETSEL) invocations. One uses sel_buffer,
while the other frees it and reallocates a new one for another
selection. Add a mutex to close this race.

The mutex takes care properly of sel_buffer and sel_buffer_lth only. The
other selection global variables (like sel_start, sel_end, and sel_cons)
are protected only in set_selection_user. The other functions need quite
some more work to close the races of the variables there. This is going
to happen later.

This likely fixes (I am unsure as there is no reproducer provided) bug
206361 too. It was marked as CVE-2020-8648.

<title>vt: selection, handle pending signals in paste_selection</title>

<id>687bff0cd08f790d540cfb7b2349f0d876cdddec</id>
<content type='text'>
When pasting a selection to a vt, the task is set as INTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for a tty to unthrottle. But signals are not handled at all.
Normally, this is not a problem as tty_ldisc_receive_buf receives all
the goods and a user has no reason to interrupt the task.

There are two scenarios where this matters:
1) when the tty is throttled and a signal is sent to the process, it
   spins on a CPU until the tty is unthrottled. schedule() does not
   really echedule, but returns immediately, of course.
2) when the sel_buffer becomes invalid, KASAN prevents any reads from it
   and the loop simply does not proceed and spins forever (causing the
   tty to throttle, but the code never sleeps, the same as above). This
   sometimes happens as there is a race in the sel_buffer handling code.

So add signal handling to this ioctl (TIOCL_PASTESEL) and return -EINTR
in case a signal is pending.
