CVE-2022-49948

  1. OpenCVE
  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2022-49948
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vt: Clear selection before changing the font When changing the console font with ioctl(KDFONTOP) the new font size can be bigger than the previous font. A previous selection may thus now be outside of the new screen size and thus trigger out-of-bounds accesses to graphics memory if the selection is removed in vc_do_resize(). Prevent such out-of-memory accesses by dropping the selection before the various con_font_set() console handlers are called.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: vt: Borrar la selección antes de cambiar la fuente. Al cambiar la fuente de la consola con ioctl(KDFONTOP), el nuevo tamaño de fuente puede ser mayor que el anterior. Por lo tanto, una selección anterior podría quedar fuera del nuevo tamaño de pantalla y, por lo tanto, provocar accesos fuera de los límites a la memoria gráfica si se elimina la selección en vc_do_resize(). Para evitar estos accesos fuera de memoria, elimine la selección antes de llamar a los controladores de consola con_font_set().
