Subject: [PATCH] tty/vt: set_get_cmap() check user buffer
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 00:34:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1332200041-31052-1-git-send-email-mg@ebfe.org> (raw)
set_get_cmap() ignores the result of {get,put}_user(), causing ioctl(vt,
{G,P}IO_CMAP, 0xdeadbeef) to silently fail.
Another side effect of this: calling the PIO_CMAP ioctl with an invalid
buffer will zero the default colormap and the palette for all vts (all
colors set to black).
Use access_ok() and return -EFAULT when appropriate.
