Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-06-18 12:03:23 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

video: fbdev: s3fb: Check the size of screen before memset_io()

In the function s3fb_set_par(), the value of 'screen_size' is
calculated by the user input. If the user provides the improper value,
the value of 'screen_size' may larger than 'info->screen_size', which
may cause the following bug:

[   54.083733] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc90003000000
[   54.083742] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
[   54.083744] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
[   54.083760] RIP: 0010:memset_orig+0x33/0xb0
[   54.083782] Call Trace:
[   54.083788]  s3fb_set_par+0x1ec6/0x4040

[   54.083836]  do_fb_ioctl+0x234/0x670

Fix the this by checking the value of 'screen_size' before memset_io().
