Tetsuo Handa 74752b81ea vt: Reject zero-sized screen buffer size.
commit ce684552a2 upstream.

syzbot is reporting general protection fault in do_con_write() [1] caused
by vc->vc_screenbuf == ZERO_SIZE_PTR caused by vc->vc_screenbuf_size == 0
caused by vc->vc_cols == vc->vc_rows == vc->vc_size_row == 0 caused by
fb_set_var() from ioctl(FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO) on /dev/fb0 , for
gotoxy(vc, 0, 0) from reset_terminal() from vc_init() from vc_allocate()
 from con_install() from tty_init_dev() from tty_open() on such console
causes vc->vc_pos == 0x10000000e due to
((unsigned long) ZERO_SIZE_PTR) + -1U * 0 + (-1U << 1).

I don't think that a console with 0 column or 0 row makes sense. And it
seems that vc_do_resize() does not intend to allow resizing a console to
0 column or 0 row due to

  new_cols = (cols ? cols : vc->vc_cols);
  new_rows = (lines ? lines : vc->vc_rows);

exception.

Theoretically, cols and rows can be any range as long as
0 < cols * rows * 2 <= KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is satisfied (e.g.
cols == 1048576 && rows == 2 is possible) because of

  vc->vc_size_row = vc->vc_cols << 1;
  vc->vc_screenbuf_size = vc->vc_rows * vc->vc_size_row;

in visual_init() and kzalloc(vc->vc_screenbuf_size) in vc_allocate().

Since we can detect cols == 0 or rows == 0 via screenbuf_size = 0 in
visual_init(), we can reject kzalloc(0). Then, vc_allocate() will return
an error, and con_write() will not be called on a console with 0 column
or 0 row.

We need to make sure that integer overflow in visual_init() won't happen.
Since vc_do_resize() restricts cols <= 32767 and rows <= 32767, applying
1 <= cols <= 32767 and 1 <= rows <= 32767 restrictions to vc_allocate()
will be practically fine.

This patch does not touch con_init(), for returning -EINVAL there
does not help when we are not returning -ENOMEM.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
