Subject: [PATCH] fbcon: Fix OOB access in font allocation
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 15:45:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250922134619.257684-1-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
Commit 1a194e6c8e1e ("fbcon: fix integer overflow in fbcon_do_set_font")
introduced an out-of-bounds access by storing data and allocation sizes
in the same variable. Restore the old size calculation and use the new
variable 'alloc_size' for the allocation.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
Fixes: 1a194e6c8e1e ("fbcon: fix integer overflow in fbcon_do_set_font")
Reported-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com>
