From 8fb9ea65c9d1338b0d2bb0a9122dc942cdd32357 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Kennedy george.kennedy@oracle.com Date: Fri, 12 May 2023 06:08:48 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] vc_screen: reload load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_write() to avoid UAF MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

After a call to console_unlock() in vcs_write() the vc_data struct can be freed by vc_port_destruct(). Because of that, the struct vc_data pointer must be reloaded in the while loop in vcs_write() after console_lock() to avoid a UAF when vcs_size() is called.

Syzkaller reported a UAF in vcs_size().
