Since I don't know the meaning of "struct vt_consize"->v_clin (which is commented
with "/* number of pixel rows per character */" but does it mean font size ?),
I don't know why we can assign that value to vcp->vc_font.height via

	if (v.v_clin)
		vcp->vc_font.height = v.v_clin;

in vt_resizex(). While ioctl(PIO_FONT) needs to pass vc->vc_sw->con_font_set()
check in con_font_set(), ioctl(VT_RESIZEX) does not pass it in vt_resizex()...

Since this problem does not happen if I remove

	if (v.v_clin)
		vcp->vc_font.height = v.v_clin;

Hi Tetsuo!

 from vt_resizex(), I guess that some variables are getting confused by change
of vc->vc_font.height ...

Yes, see bit_putcs():

(drivers/video/fbdev/core/bitblit.c)
static void bit_putcs(struct vc_data *vc, struct fb_info *info,
		      const unsigned short *s, int count, int yy, int xx,
		      int fg, int bg)
{
	struct fb_image image;
	u32 width = DIV_ROUND_UP(vc->vc_font.width, 8);
	u32 cellsize = width * vc->vc_font.height;
	    ^^^^^^^^		   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

`cellsize` is now too large. Later, in bit_putcs_aligned():

	while (cnt--) {
		src = vc->vc_font.data + (scr_readw(s++)&
					  charmask)*cellsize;
						    ^^^^^^^^

`src` goes out of bounds of the data buffer. At first glance I guess
this is an out-of-bound read reported as a use-after-free read? The
crashlog says:

How this OOB access is reported varies.

To resolve this out-of-bound issue for now, I think the easiest way
is to add a range check in bit_putcs(), or bit_putcs_aligned().

...but yeah, that `VT_RESIZEX` ioctl looks really buggy, and is already
causing more issues:

At least, since not all fonts have height = 32 (e.g. font_vga_8x8 is height = 8),
allow changing vc->vc_font.height with only

	if (v.v_clin > 32)
		return -EINVAL;

validation in VT_RESIZEX looks wrong. This needs more validations.



By the way, can we find a user of VT_RESIZEX? As far as I googled with "VT_RESIZEX",
I couldn't find a userspace program; only explanation of VT_RESIZEX and kernel patches
related to VT_RESIZEX are found. Also, while console_ioctl(4) man page says

  Any parameter may be set to zero, indicating "no change"

, the assignment

	if (!v.v_vlin)
		v.v_vlin = vc->vc_scan_lines;

changes the meaning to

   If v_vlin parameter is set to zero, the value for associated console is copied
   to each console (instead of preserving current value for that console)

. Maybe for now we can try this (effectively making VT_RESIZEX = VT_RESIZE) ?
