The current vgacon's scroll up implementation uses a circural buffer in vgacon_scrollback_cur. It always advances tail to prepare it for the next write and caps it to zero if the next ->vc_size_row bytes won't fit. But when we change the VT size (e.g. by VT_RESIZE) in the meantime, the new line might not fit to the end of the scrollback buffer in the next attempt to scroll. This leads to various crashes as vgacon_scrollback_update writes out of the buffer: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc900001752a0 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page RIP: 0010:mutex_unlock+0x13/0x30 ... Call Trace: n_tty_write+0x1a0/0x4d0 tty_write+0x1a0/0x2e0 Or to KASAN reports: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in vgacon_scroll+0x57a/0x8ed So check whether the line fits in the buffer and wrap if needed. Do it before the loop as console_sem is held and ->vc_size_row cannot change during the execution of vgacon_scrollback_cur. If it does change, we need to ensure it does not change elsewhere, not here. Also, we do not split the write of a line into chunks as that would break the consumers of the buffer. They expect ->cnt, ->tail and ->size to be in harmony and advanced by ->vc_size_row. I found few reports of this in the past, some with patches included, some even 2 years old: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAEAjamsJnG-=TSOwgRbbb3B9Z-PA63oWmNPoKYWQ=Z=+X49akg@mail.gmail.com/ (local) https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1589336932-35508-1-git-send-email-yangyingliang@huawei.com/ (local) This fixes CVE-2020-14331. Big thanks to guys mentioned in the Reported-and-debugged-by lines below who actually found the root cause.
