In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/fbdev-generic: prohibit potential out-of-bounds access
The fbdev test of IGT may write after EOF, which lead to out-of-bound
access for drm drivers with fbdev-generic. For example, run fbdev test
on a x86+ast2400 platform, with 1680x1050 resolution, will cause the
linux kernel hang with the following call trace:

The is because damage rectangles computed by
drm_fb_helper_memory_range_to_clip() function is not guaranteed to be
bound in the screen's active display area. Possible reasons are:
1) Buffers are allocated in the granularity of page size, for mmap system
call support. The shadow screen buffer consumed by fbdev emulation may
also choosed be page size aligned.
2) The DIV_ROUND_UP() used in drm_fb_helper_memory_range_to_clip()
will introduce off-by-one error.
For example, on a 16KB page size system, in order to store a 1920x1080
XRGB framebuffer, we need allocate 507 pages. Unfortunately, the size
1920*1080*4 can not be divided exactly by 16KB.
1920 * 1080 * 4 = 8294400 bytes
506 * 16 * 1024 = 8290304 bytes
507 * 16 * 1024 = 8306688 bytes
line_length = 1920*4 = 7680 bytes
507 * 16 * 1024 / 7680 = 1081.6
off / line_length = 507 * 16 * 1024 / 7680 = 1081
DIV_ROUND_UP(507 * 16 * 1024, 7680) will yeild 1082
memcpy_toio() typically issue the copy line by line, when copy the last
line, out-of-bound access will be happen. Because:
1082 * line_length = 1082 * 7680 = 8309760, and 8309760 > 8306688
Note that userspace may still write to the invisiable area if a larger
buffer than width x stride is exposed. But it is not a big issue as
long as there still have memory resolve the access if not drafting so
far.
- Also limit the y1 (Daniel)
- keep fix patch it to minimal (Daniel)
- screen_size is page size aligned because of it need mmap (Thomas)
- Adding fixes tag (Thomas)
