[PATCH] fbcon: Fix OOB access in font allocation
From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
Date: 2025-09-22 13:49:11
Commit 1a194e6c8e1e ("fbcon: fix integer overflow in fbcon_do_set_font")
introduced an out-of-bounds access by storing data and allocation sizes
in the same variable. Restore the old size calculation and use the new
variable 'alloc_size' for the allocation.
