fbdev: Fix out-of-bounds access when rotating console after font resize
[BUG]
Recently, we encountered a KASAN warning as follows:

reproduce:
1) issue two ioctls: first a KDFONTOP ioctl with op.op = KD_FONT_OP_SET,
op.width = 1 and op.height = 1, then a TIOCL_SETSEL ioctl
2) echo 2 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/rotate_all
3) issue two ioctls: first a KDFONTOP ioctl with op.op = KD_FONT_OP_SET,
op.width = 8 and op.height = 1, then a TIOCL_SETSEL ioctl
4) echo 3 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon/rotate_all
[CAUSE]
The root cause is that fbcon_modechanged() first sets the current rotate's
corresponding ops. Subsequently, during vc_resize(), it may trigger
clear_selection(), and in fbcon_putcs->ccw_putcs[rotate=3], this can result
in an out-of-bounds access to "src". This happens because par->rotated.buf
is reallocated in fbcon_rotate_font():
1) When rotate=2, its size is (width + 7) / 8 * height
2) When rotate=3, its size is (height + 7) / 8 * width
And the call to fbcon_rotate_font() occurs after clear_selection(). In
other words, the fontbuffer is allocated using the size calculated from the
previous rotation 2, but before reallocating it with the new size,
con_putcs is already using the new rotation 3:
rotate_all_store
fbcon_rotate_all
fbcon_set_all_vcs
fbcon_modechanged
set_blitting_type
...
par->bitops = &ccw_fbcon_bitops
vc_resize
...
clear_selection
highlight
...
do_update_region
fbcon_putcs
...
image.dy = vyres - ((xx + count) * vc->vc_font.width) [1] // overflow!
ccw_putcs_aligned
// old buf size is still being used during the read!
src = par->rotated.buf + (scr_readw(s--) & charmask) * cellsize
fb_pad_aligned_buffer----[src KASAN!!!] [2]
info->fbops->fb_imageblit(info, image)
sys_imageblit
fb_imageblit
fb_address_forward
// offset: image->dy * bits_per_line + image->dx * bpp
unsigned int bits = (unsigned int)adr->bits + offset
adr->address += (bits & ~(BITS_PER_LONG - 1u)) / BITS_PER_BYTE [3]
fb_bitmap_imageblit
...
fb_read_offset // page fault! [4]
update_screen
redraw_screen
...
ccw_cursor
soft_cursor
memcpy(src, image->data, dsize)----[src KASAN again!!!] [5]
fbcon_switch
fbcon_rotate_font
font_data_rotate
dst = kmalloc_array(charcount, d_cellsize, GFP_KERNEL)
// the new size is allocated only here!
par->rotated.buf = buf [6]
[FIX]
A fairly obvious approach is to follow fbcon_switch(): in
fbcon_modechanged(), call rotate_font() before vc_resize() so that a
correctly sized buffer is allocated in time, as done in [6]. This fix is
necessary, but it is not sufficient on its own.
In [1] it causes an image.dy overflow (ccw_putcs: vyres = 768,
image.dy = 4294967040), because vc_cols has not been updated in time at
this point (it is likewise only updated after clear_selection()). This
allows (xx + count) * width to exceed vyres, causing image.dy to overflow.
Subsequently, address in [3] is incremented by an even larger amount, which
triggers a page fault at [4].
Therefore, a second fix is required in combination with the first: move
clear_selection() earlier, before set_blitting_type() in
fbcon_set_all_vcs(), to prevent the out-of-bounds access. fbcon_rotate()
has a similar problem, so add the same clear there. Since vc_is_sel() is
not exported, the fbdev side is currently forced to call clear_selection()
unconditionally, causing the global selection to be cleared prematurely.
And this will not cause any other significant impact.
