CVE-2022-50099

Linux Linux, linux kernel

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: video: fbdev: arkfb: Check the size of screen before memset_io() In the function arkfb_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: [ 659.399066] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc90003000000 [ 659.399077] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode [ 659.399079] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page [ 659.399094] RIP: 0010:memset_orig+0x3...
