commit af0db3c1f898144846d4c172531a199bb3ca375d upstream.

This issue triggers when a userspace program does an ioctl
FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP by passing console number and frame buffer number.
Ideally this maps console to frame buffer and updates the screen if
console is visible.

As part of mapping it has to do resize of console according to frame
buffer info. if this resize fails and returns from vc_do_resize() and
continues further. At this point console and new frame buffer are mapped
and sets display vars. Despite failure still it continue to proceed
updating the screen at later stages where vc_data is related to previous
frame buffer and frame buffer info and display vars are mapped to new
frame buffer and eventully leading to out-of-bounds write in
fast_imageblit(). This bheviour is excepted only when fg_console is
equal to requested console which is a visible console and updates screen
with invalid struct references in fbcon_putcs().

[ Upstream commit 523b84dc7ccea9c4d79126d6ed1cf9033cf83b05 ]

The current implementation may lead to buffer overflow when:
1.  Unregistration creates NULL gaps in registered_fb[]
2.  All array slots become occupied despite num_registered_fb &lt; FB_MAX
3.  The registration loop exceeds array bounds

Add boundary check to prevent registered_fb[FB_MAX] access.

[ Upstream commit 8d5cc8eed738e3202379722295c626cba0849785 ]

The non-zero (true) return value from consw::con_switch() means a redraw
is needed. So make this return type a bool explicitly instead of int.
The latter might imply that -Eerrors are expected. They are not.

And document the hook.

[ Upstream commit 559f01a0ee6d924c6fec3eaf6a5b078b15e71070 ]

In consw::con_clear():
* Height is always 1, so drop it.
* Offsets and width are always unsigned values, so re-type them as such.

This needs a new __fbcon_clear() in the fbcon code to still handle
height which might not be 1 when called internally.

Note that tests for negative count/width are left in place -- they are
taken care of in the next patches.

And document the hook.

[ Upstream commit 17186f1f90d34fa701e4f14e6818305151637b9e ]

If fb_add_videomode() in do_register_framebuffer() fails to allocate
memory for fb_videomode, it will later 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-&gt;var.

================================================================

Even though fbcon_init() checks beforehand if fb_match_mode() in
var_to_display() fails, it can not prevent the panic because fbcon_init()
does not return error code. Considering this and the comment in the code
about fb_match_mode() returning NULL - "This should not happen" - it is
better to prevent registering the fb_info if its mode was not set
successfully. Also move fb_add_videomode() closer to the beginning of
do_register_framebuffer() to avoid having to do the cleanup on fail.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

================================================================

Even though fbcon_init() checks beforehand if fb_match_mode() in
var_to_display() fails, it can not prevent the panic because fbcon_init()
does not return error code. Considering this and the comment in the code
about fb_match_mode() returning NULL - "This should not happen" - it is
better to prevent registering the fb_info if its mode was not set
successfully. Also move fb_add_videomode() closer to the beginning of
do_register_framebuffer() to avoid having to do the cleanup on fail.

[ Upstream commit cedc1b63394a866bf8663a3e40f4546f1d28c8d8 ]

It looks like attempting to write to the "store_modes" sysfs node will
run afoul of unregistered consoles:

UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:122:28
index -1 is out of range for type 'fb_info *[32]'

...
static struct fb_info *fbcon_info_from_console(int console)
...
        return fbcon_registered_fb[con2fb_map[console]];

If con2fb_map contains a -1 things go wrong here. Instead, return NULL,
as callers of fbcon_info_from_console() are trying to compare against
existing "info" pointers, so error handling should kick in correctly.

<title>fbdev: Fix fb_set_var to prevent null-ptr-deref in fb_videomode_to_var</title>

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-&gt;var.

The reason is that fb_info-&gt;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-&gt;modelist, fb_set_var() returns error, but does not restore the
old value of fb_info-&gt;var. Restore fb_info-&gt;var on failure the same way
it is done earlier in the function.

[ Upstream commit 3f6dae09fc8c306eb70fdfef70726e1f154e173a ]

In fb_find_mode_cvt(), iff mode-&gt;refresh somehow happens to be 0x80000000,
cvt.f_refresh will become 0 when multiplying it by 2 due to overflow. It's
then passed to fb_cvt_hperiod(), where it's used as a divider -- division
by 0 will result in kernel oops. Add a sanity check for cvt.f_refresh to
avoid such overflow...
