The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >>From 009e39ae44f4191188aeb6dfbf661b771dbbe515 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scot Doyle Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 12:12:43 -0500 Subject: vt: clear selection before resizing When resizing a vt its selection may exceed the new size, resulting in an invalid memory access [1].
