"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: Fix vmalloc out-of-bounds write in fast_imageblit This issue
triggers when a userspace program does an ioctl FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP by
passing console number and frame buffer number. Ideally this maps
console to frame buffer and updates the screen if console is visible.
As part of mapping it has to do resize of console according to frame
buffer info. if this resize fails and returns from vc_do_resize() and
continues further. At this point console and new frame buffer are
mapped and sets display vars. Despite failure still it continue to
proceed updating the screen at later stages where vc_data is related
to previous frame buffer and frame buffer info and display vars are
mapped to new frame buffer and eventully leading to out-of-bounds
write in fast_imageblit(). This bheviour is excepted only when
fg_console is equal to requested console which is a visible console
and updates screen with invalid struct references in fbcon_putcs().
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
