Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
fbdev: clear fb_info->mode before deleting a videomode<br />
<br />
fb_set_var() can delete a mode from info->modelist when userspace<br />
passes FB_ACTIVATE_INV_MODE through FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO. The code<br />
checks that the mode being deleted is not the current info->var and<br />
that fbcon is not using it, but it does not check fb_info->mode.<br />
<br />
fb_info->mode may still point into the modelist entry being deleted.<br />
If the entry is freed, later mode sysfs reads through show_mode() can<br />
dereference a stale pointer.<br />
<br />
Clear fb_info->mode before calling fb_delete_videomode() when it<br />
matches the mode being removed.
