Subject: fbdev: controlfb: Add missing modes to fix out of bounds access
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>
[ Upstream commit ac831a379d34109451b3c41a44a20ee10ecb615f ]
Dan's static analysis says:
drivers/video/fbdev/controlfb.c:560 control_setup()
error: buffer overflow 'control_mac_modes' 20 <= 21
Indeed, control_mac_modes[] has only 20 elements, while VMODE_MAX is 22,
which may lead to an out of bounds read when parsing vmode commandline
options.
The bug was introduced in v2.4.5.6, when 2 new modes were added to
macmodes.h, but control_mac_modes[] wasn't updated:
https://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/diff/include/video/macmodes.h?h=v2.5.2&id=29f279c764808560eaceb88fef36cbc35c529aad
Augment control_mac_modes[] with the two new video modes to fix this.
