- Summary
- tty: vt: initialize unicode screen buffer
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: vt: initialize unicode screen buffer
syzbot reports kernel infoleak at vcs_read() [1], for buffer can be read immediately after resize operation. Initialize buffer using kzalloc().
#include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <linux/fb.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct fbvarscreeninfo var = { }; const int fbfd = open("/dev/fb0", 3); ioctl(fbfd, FBIOGETVSCREENINFO, &var); var.yres = 0x21; ioctl(fbfd, FBIOPUTVSCREENINFO, &var); return read(open("/dev/vcsu", ORDONLY), &var, sizeof(var)) == -1; }
