Title
fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_putcs*
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_putcs*
bit_putcs_aligned()/unaligned() derived the glyph pointer from the
character value masked by 0xff/0x1ff, which may exceed the actual font's
glyph count and read past the end of the built-in font array.
Clamp the index to the actual glyph count before computing the address.
This fixes a global out-of-bounds read reported by syzbot.

There is no remote or adjacent-network exposure of fbcon.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls both the desync (choosing font dimensions that make `vc_do_resize()` fail deterministically via `new_screen_size \u003e KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE` or `!new_screen_size`) and the trigger (writing glyph indices 256\u2013511 into the screen buffer); syzbot has a working C reproducer.\nPR:L - `KDFONTOP(KD_FONT_OP_SET)` and `PIO_UNIMAP` only require `perm`, which is granted to any unprivileged user whose controlling tty is the VT (`current-\u003esignal-\u003etty == tty`) \u2014 no capability is needed, and `vcs_open()` performs no capability check at all.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the font ioctl and the console write entirely from its own process; no victim action or cooperation is needed.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read stays within the kernel\u0027s own memory and the impact is confined to the kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Up to 256 glyph cells are read past the font array \u2014 4 KB beyond the global `fontdata_8x16`, or up to ~256 KB beyond a large user-supplied font \u2014 and those raw kernel bytes are blitted to the framebuffer as bitmaps that the attacker can read back via `/dev/fb0`, yielding a substantial kernel memory disclosure primitive.\nI:N - The defect is strictly an out-of-bounds read; the fetched bytes are copied into correctly sized pixmap and attribute buffers, so no kernel memory is modified and no write or control-flow primitive is produced.\nA:H - When the active font is a large kvmalloc-backed user font, the overrun can run hundreds of kilobytes past the allocation into a vmalloc guard page, faulting inside `bit_putcs()` while `console_lock` is held and oopsing/hanging the system; on KASAN builds it trips a report that can panic."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
