fbdev: Fix fb_set_var to prevent null-ptr-deref in fb_videomode_to_var

2025-06-27T10:02:51+00:00

commit 05f6e183879d9785a3cdf2f08a498bc31b7a20aa upstream.

If fb_add_videomode() in fb_set_var() fails to allocate memory for
fb_videomode, later it may lead to a null-ptr dereference in
fb_videomode_to_var(), as the fb_info is registered while not having the
mode in modelist that is expected to be there, i.e. the one that is
described in fb_info->var.

The reason is that fb_info->var is being modified in fb_set_var(), and
then fb_videomode_to_var() is called. If it fails to add the mode to
fb_info->modelist, fb_set_var() returns error, but does not restore the
old value of fb_info->var. Restore fb_info->var on failure the same way
it is done earlier in the function.

fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size

2022-07-12T14:30:47+00:00

commit e64242caef18b4a5840b0e7a9bff37abd4f4f933 upstream.

We need to prevent that users configure a screen size which is smaller than the
currently selected font size. Otherwise rendering chars on the screen will
access memory outside the graphics memory region.

This patch adds a new function fbcon_modechange_possible() which
implements this check and which later may be extended with other checks
if necessary.  The new function is called from the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO
ioctl handler in fbmem.c, which will return -EINVAL if userspace asked
for a too small screen size.

fbmem: don't allow too huge resolutions

2021-09-15T07:47:41+00:00

commit 8c28051cdcbe9dfcec6bd0a4709d67a09df6edae upstream.

syzbot is reporting page fault at vga16fb_fillrect() [1], for
vga16fb_check_var() is failing to detect multiplication overflow.

  if (vxres * vyres > maxmem) {
    vyres = maxmem / vxres;
    if (vyres < yres)
      return -ENOMEM;
  }

Since no module would accept too huge resolutions where multiplication
overflow happens, let's reject in the common path.

fbmem: Do not delete the mode that is still in use

2021-07-20T14:10:40+00:00

commit 0af778269a522c988ef0b4188556aba97fb420cc upstream.

The execution of fb_delete_videomode() is not based on the result of the
previous fbcon_mode_deleted(). As a result, the mode is directly deleted,
regardless of whether it is still in use, which may cause UAF.

fbmem: add margin check to fb_check_caps()

2020-10-29T08:58:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit a49145acfb975d921464b84fe00279f99827d816 ]

A fb_ioctl() FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO call with invalid xres setting
or yres setting in struct fb_var_screeninfo will result in a
KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds failure in bitfill_aligned() as
the margins are being cleared. The margins are cleared in
chunks and if the xres setting or yres setting is a value of
zero upto the chunk size, the failure will occur.

Add a margin check to validate xres and yres settings.

fbmem: pull fbcon_update_vcs() out of fb_set_var()

2020-09-03T09:27:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit d88ca7e1a27eb2df056bbf37ddef62e1c73d37ea ]

syzbot is reporting OOB read bug in vc_do_resize() [1] caused by memcpy()
based on outdated old_{rows,row_size} values, for resize_screen() can
recurse into vc_do_resize() which changes vc->vc_{cols,rows} that outdates
old_{rows,row_size} values which were saved before calling resize_screen().

Daniel Vetter explained that resize_screen() should not recurse into
fbcon_update_vcs() path due to FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT being still set
when calling resize_screen().

Instead of masking FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT before calling fbcon_update_vcs(),
we can remove FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT by calling fbcon_update_vcs() only if
fb_set_var() returned 0. This change assumes that it is harmless to call
fbcon_update_vcs() when fb_set_var() returned 0 without reaching
fb_notifier_call_chain().

fbmem: Adjust indentation in fb_prepare_logo and fb_blank

commit 93166f5f2e4dc593cff8ca77ef828ac6f148b0f3 upstream.

Clang warns:

        if (fb_logo.depth > 4 && depth > 4) {

        if (!ret)
        ^
2 warnings generated.

This warning occurs because there are spaces before the tabs on these
lines. Normalize the indentation in these functions so that it is
consistent with the Linux kernel coding style and clang no longer warns.

fbdev: potential information leak in do_fb_ioctl()

commit d3d19d6fc5736a798b118971935ce274f7deaa82 upstream.

The "fix" struct has a 2 byte hole after ->ywrapstep and the
"fix = info->fix;" assignment doesn't necessarily clear it.  It depends
on the compiler.  The solution is just to replace the assignment with an
memcpy().
