[Impact]
When sending malicous data to kernel by ioctl cmd FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO,
kernel will write memory out of bounds.
[Fix]
Fixes were cherry-picked from closest stable trees and upstream.
MITRE entry points to a merge commit that contain six patches. Three of
those were considered relevant.
[Test case]
Compile and boot tested on KVM only.
[Potential regression]
Due to self contained changes on >5.4, seems minimal.
Helge Deller (3):
fbcon: Disallow setting font bigger than screen size
fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size
fbmem: Check virtual screen sizes in fb_set_var()
