Subject: [PATCH] VT: Protect KD_FONT_OP_GET_TALL from unbound access
Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2023 10:49:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230306094921.tik5ewne4ft6mfpo@begin> (raw)

In ioctl(KD_FONT_OP_GET_TALL), userland tells through op->height which
vpitch should be used to copy over the font. In con_font_get, we were
not checking that it is within the maximum height value, and thus
userland could make the vc->vc_sw->con_font_get(vc, &font, vpitch);
call possibly overflow the allocated max_font_size bytes, and the
copy_to_user(op->data, font.data, c) call possibly read out of that
allocated buffer.

By checking vpitch against max_font_height, the max_font_size buffer
will always be large enough for the vc->vc_sw->con_font_get(vc, &font,
vpitch) call (since we already prevent loading a font larger than that),
and c = (font.width+7)/8 * vpitch * font.charcount will always remain
below max_font_size.

Fixes: 24d69384bcd3 ("VT: Add KD_FONT_OP_SET/GET_TALL operations")
