Further there was only one user ever.
- Android's loadfont, busybox and console-tools only ever use OP_GET
and OP_SET
- fbset documentation only mentions the kernel cmdline font: option,
not anything else.
- systemd used OP_COPY before release 232 published in Nov 2016
Now unfortunately the crucial report seems to have gone down with
gmane, and the commit message doesn't say much. But the pull request
hints at OP_COPY being broken
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3651
So in other words, this never worked, and the only project which
foolishly every tried to use it, realized that rather quickly too.
Instead of trying to fix security issues here on dead code by adding
missing checks, fix the entire thing by removing the functionality.
Note that systemd code using the OP_COPY function ignored the return
value, so it doesn't matter what we're doing here really - just in
case a lone server somewhere happens to be extremely unlucky and
running an affected old version of systemd. The relevant code from
font_copy_to_all_vcs() in systemd was:
/* copy font from active VT, where the font was uploaded to */
cfo.op = KD_FONT_OP_COPY;
cfo.height = vcs.v_active-1; /* tty1 == index 0 */
(void) ioctl(vcfd, KDFONTOP, &cfo);
Note this just disables the ioctl, garbage collecting the now unused
callbacks is left for -next.
v2: Tetsuo found the old mail, which allowed me to find it on another
archive. Add the link too.

commit 90bfdeef83f1d6c696039b6a917190dcbbad3220 upstream.
Some of the font tty ioctl's always used the current foreground VC for
their operations. Don't do that then.
This fixes a data race on fg_console.
Side note: both Michael Ellerman and Jiri Slaby point out that all these
ioctls are deprecated, and should probably have been removed long ago,
and everything seems to be using the KDFONTOP ioctl instead.
In fact, Michael points out that it looks like busybox's loadfont
program seems to have switched over to using KDFONTOP exactly _because_
of this bug (ahem.. 12 years ago ;-).

commit 82e61c3909db51d91b9d3e2071557b6435018b80 upstream.
Both read-side users of func_table/func_buf need locking. Without that,
one can easily confuse the code by repeatedly setting altering strings
like:
while (1)
for (a = 0; a < 2; a++) {
struct kbsentry kbs = {};
strcpy((char *)kbs.kb_string, a ? ".\n" : "88888\n");
ioctl(fd, KDSKBSENT, &kbs);
}
When that program runs, one can get unexpected output by holding F1
(note the unxpected period on the last line):
.
88888
.8888
So protect all accesses to 'func_table' (and func_buf) by preexisting
'func_buf_lock'.
It is easy in 'k_fn' handler as 'puts_queue' is expected not to sleep.
On the other hand, KDGKBSENT needs a local (atomic) copy of the string
because copy_to_user can sleep. Use already allocated, but unused
'kbs->kb_string' for that purpose.
Note that the program above needs at least CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG.
This depends on the previous patch and on the func_buf_lock lock added
in commit 46ca3f735f34 (tty/vt: fix write/write race in ioctl(KDSKBSENT)
handler) in 5.2.
Likely fixes CVE-2020-25656.

commit 6ca03f90527e499dd5e32d6522909e2ad390896b upstream.
Use 'strlen' of the string, add one for NUL terminator and simply do
'copy_to_user' instead of the explicit 'for' loop. This makes the
KDGKBSENT case more compact.
The only thing we need to take care about is NULL 'func_table[i]'. Use
an empty string in that case.
The original check for overflow could never trigger as the func_buf
strings are always shorter or equal to 'struct kbsentry's.

commit f8d1653daec02315e06d30246cff4af72e76e54e upstream.
syzbot is reporting UAF bug in set_origin() from vc_do_resize() [1], for
vc_do_resize() calls kfree(vc->vc_screenbuf) before calling set_origin().
Unfortunately, in set_origin(), vc->vc_sw->con_set_origin() might access
vc->vc_pos when scroll is involved in order to manipulate cursor, but
vc->vc_pos refers already released vc->vc_screenbuf until vc->vc_pos gets
updated based on the result of vc->vc_sw->con_set_origin().
Preserving old buffer and tolerating outdated vc members until set_origin()
completes would be easier than preventing vc->vc_sw->con_set_origin() from
accessing outdated vc members.

commit ce684552a266cb1c7cc2f7e623f38567adec6653 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.

While it can be worked around by using check_mul_overflow()/
check_add_overflow(), it is better to introduce a separate flag to
signal that number pad is being used to compose a symbol, and
change type of the accumulator from signed to unsigned, thus
avoiding undefined behavior when it overflows.

vmalloc() is hidden away within a common abstraction.
Oh wait, that's exactly what happened here.
So let's fix this by creating a common abstraction for the free case
as well.

Even if the actual screen size is bounded in vc_do_resize(), the unicode

and may exceed MAX_ORDER down the kmalloc() path. This can be triggered
from user space.
Since there is no point having a physically contiguous buffer here,

The code in vc_do_resize() bounds the memory allocation size to avoid
exceeding MAX_ORDER down the kzalloc() call chain and generating a
runtime warning triggerable from user space. However, not only is it
unwise to use a literal value here, but MAX_ORDER may also be

commit 7cf64b18b0b96e751178b8d0505d8466ff5a448f upstream.
vt_in_use() dereferences console_driver->ttys[i] without proper locking.
This is broken because the tty can be closed and freed concurrently.
We could fix this by using 'READ_ONCE(console_driver->ttys[i]) != NULL'
and skipping the check of tty_struct::count. But, looking at
console_driver->ttys[i] isn't really appropriate anyway because even if
it is NULL the tty can still be in the process of being closed.
Instead, fix it by making vt_in_use() require console_lock() and check
whether the vt is allocated and has port refcount > 1. This works since
following the patch "vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use
virtual console" the port refcount is incremented while the vt is open.
Reproducer (very unreliable, but it worked for me after a few minutes):
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <linux/vt.h>
int main()
{
int fd, nproc;
struct vt_stat state;
char ttyname[16];
fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDONLY);

fork();
for (;;) {
sprintf(ttyname, "/dev/tty%d", rand() % 8);

commit ca4463bf8438b403596edd0ec961ca0d4fbe0220 upstream.
The VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl can free a virtual console while tty_release()
is still running, causing a use-after-free in con_shutdown(). This
occurs because VT_DISALLOCATE considers a virtual console's
'struct vc_data' to be unused as soon as the corresponding tty's
refcount hits 0. But actually it may be still being closed.
Fix this by making vc_data be reference-counted via the embedded
'struct tty_port'. A newly allocated virtual console has refcount 1.
Opening it for the first time increments the refcount to 2. Closing it
for the last time decrements the refcount (in tty_operations::cleanup()
so that it happens late enough), as does VT_DISALLOCATE.

The vc_cons_allocated() checks in vt_ioctl() and vt_compat_ioctl() are
unnecessary because they can only be reached by calling ioctl() on an
open tty, which implies the corresponding virtual console is allocated.
And even if the virtual console *could* be freed concurrently, then
these checks would be broken since they aren't done under console_lock,
and the vc_data is dereferenced before them anyway.
So, remove these unneeded checks to avoid confusion.

commit 4b70dd57a15d2f4685ac6e38056bad93e81e982f upstream.
We need to nest the console lock in sel_lock, so we have to push it down
a bit. Fortunately, the callers of set_selection_* just lock the console
lock around the function call. So moving it down is easy.
In the next patch, we switch the order.

It is due to a race between parallel paste_selection (TIOCL_PASTESEL)
and set_selection_user (TIOCL_SETSEL) invocations. One uses sel_buffer,
while the other frees it and reallocates a new one for another
selection. Add a mutex to close this race.
The mutex takes care properly of sel_buffer and sel_buffer_lth only. The
other selection global variables (like sel_start, sel_end, and sel_cons)
are protected only in set_selection_user. The other functions need quite
some more work to close the races of the variables there. This is going
to happen later.
This likely fixes (I am unsure as there is no reproducer provided) bug
206361 too. It was marked as CVE-2020-8648.

commit 687bff0cd08f790d540cfb7b2349f0d876cdddec upstream.
When pasting a selection to a vt, the task is set as INTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for a tty to unthrottle. But signals are not handled at all.
Normally, this is not a problem as tty_ldisc_receive_buf receives all
the goods and a user has no reason to interrupt the task.
There are two scenarios where this matters:
1) when the tty is throttled and a signal is sent to the process, it
spins on a CPU until the tty is unthrottled. schedule() does not
really echedule, but returns immediately, of course.
2) when the sel_buffer becomes invalid, KASAN prevents any reads from it
and the loop simply does not proceed and spins forever (causing the
tty to throttle, but the code never sleeps, the same as above). This
sometimes happens as there is a race in the sel_buffer handling code.
So add signal handling to this ioctl (TIOCL_PASTESEL) and return -EINTR
in case a signal is pending.

commit 3f4ef485be9d54040b695f32ec76d0f1ea50bbf3 upstream.
Commit a6dbe4427559 ("vt: perform safe console erase in the right
order") provided fixes to an earlier commit by gathering all console
scrollback flushing operations in a function of its own. This includes
the invocation of vc_sw->con_switch() as previously done through a
update_screen() call. That commit failed to carry over the
con_is_visible() conditional though, as well as cursor handling, which
caused problems when "\e[3J" was written to a background console.
One could argue for preserving the call to update_screen(). However
this does far more than we need, and it is best to remove scrollback
assumptions from it. Instead let's gather the minimum needed to actually
perform scrollback flushing properly in that one place.
While at it, let's document the vc_sw->con_switch() side effect being
relied upon.

This patch breaks set_selection() into two functions so that when
called from kernel, copy_from_user() can be avoided. The two functions
are called set_selection_user() and set_selection_kernel() in order to
be explicit about their purposes. This also means updating any
references to set_selection() and fixing for name change. It also
exports set_selection_kernel() and paste_selection().
These changes are used the following patch where speakup's selection
functionality calls into the above functions, thereby doing away with
parallel implementation.

The patch a6dbe4427559 ("vt: perform safe console erase in the right
order") introduced a bug. The conditional do_update_region() was
replaced by a call to update_region() that does contain the conditional
already, but with unwanted extra side effects such as restoring the cursor
drawing.
In order to reproduce the bug:
- use framebuffer console with the AMDGPU driver
- type "links" to start the console www browser
- press 'q' and space to exit links
Now the cursor will be permanently visible in the center of the
screen. It will stay there until something overwrites it.
The bug goes away if we change update_region() back to the conditional
do_update_region().

Pass Unicode character to k_unicode handler function to honor possible
accent_table definition.
With introduction of KDSKBDIACRUC ioctl, it has been possible to set
compose characters (diacr, base and result) to any Unicode character
(below 0xf000 code point) as defined in struct kbdiacruc.
But it does not work with characters beyond Latin-1 as base, because
they are printed early and not passed to any of the handler functions,
thus breaking compose and dead keys.
It affects keyboard layouts defining such characters on level 1 and
relying on dead keys to access level 3 (e.g., lv-modern with some
modifications for extra characters on level 3 for ē, ā and ī keys).

Previously, in the userspace, it was possible to use the "setterm" command
from util-linux to blank the VT console by default, using the following
command.
According to the man page,
> The force option keeps the screen blank even if a key is pressed.
It was implemented by calling TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN.
case BLANKSCREEN:
ioctlarg = TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN;
if (ioctl(STDIN_FILENO, TIOCLINUX, &ioctlarg))
warn(_("cannot force blank"));
break;
However, after Linux 4.12, this command ceased to work anymore, which is
unexpected. By inspecting the kernel source, it shows that the issue was
triggered by the side-effect from commit a4199f5eb809 ("tty: Disable
default console blanking interval").
The console blanking is implemented by function do_blank_screen() in vt.c:
"blank_state" will be initialized to "blank_normal_wait" in con_init() if
AND ONLY IF ("blankinterval" > 0). If "blankinterval" is 0, "blank_state"
will be "blank_off" (== 0), and a call to do_blank_screen() will always
abort, even if a forced blanking is required from the user by calling
TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN, the console won't be blanked.
This behavior is unexpected from a user's point-of-view, since it's not
mentioned in any documentation. The setterm man page suggests it will
always work, and the kernel comments in uapi/linux/tiocl.h says
> /* keep screen blank even if a key is pressed */
> #define TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN 14
To fix it, we simply remove the "blank_state != blank_off" check, as
pointed out by Nicolas Pitre, this check doesn't logically make sense
and it's safe to remove.

what appeared to be an extra call to scr_memsetw(). This missed the fact
that set_origin() must be called before clearing the screen otherwise
old screen content gets restored on the screen when using vgacon. Let's
fix that by moving all the scrollback handling to flush_scrollback()
where it logically belongs, and invoking it before the actual screen
clearing in csi_J(), making the code simpler in the end.

poll() is used for the first time. This used to be the implemented
behavior before recent changes. Because of the way poll() is implemented,
this prevents losing an event happening between the last read() and the
first poll() invocation.
Since poll() for /dev/vcs* was not always supported, user space probes
for its availability as follows:
int fd = open("/dev/vcsa", O_RDONLY);
struct pollfd p = { .fd = fd, .events = POLLPRI };
available = (poll(&p, 1, 0) == 1);
Semantically, it makes sense to signal the first event as such even if
it might be spurious. The screen could be modified, and modified back
to its initial state before we get to read it, so users must be prepared
for that anyway.

We use POLLPRI not POLLIN to wait for data with poll() as there is
never any incoming data stream per se. Let's use the same semantic
with fasync() for consistency, including the fact that a vt may go away.
No known user space ever relied on the SIGIO reason so far, let alone
FASYNC, so the risk of breakage is pretty much nonexistent.

When VT_DISALLOCATE is used on a vt, user space waiting with poll() on
the corresponding /dev/vcs device is not awakened. This is now fixed by
returning POLLHUP|POLLERR to user space.
Also, in the normal screen update case, we don't set POLLERR anymore as
POLLPRI alone is a much more logical response in a non-error situation,
saving some confusion on the user space side. The only known user app
making use of poll() on /dev/vcs* is BRLTTY which is known to cope with
that change already, so the risk of breakage is pretty much nonexistent.
