In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: Add bounds checking in bit_putcs to fix vmalloc-out-of-bounds
Add bounds checking to prevent writes past framebuffer boundaries when
rendering text near screen edges. Return early if the Y position is off-screen
and clip image height to screen boundary. Break from the rendering loop if the
X position is off-screen. When clipping image width to fit the screen, update
the character count to match the clipped width to prevent buffer size
mismatches.
Without the character count update, bit_putcs_aligned and bit_putcs_unaligned
receive mismatched parameters where the buffer is allocated for the clipped
width but cnt reflects the original larger count, causing out-of-bounds writes.
