resolved:\n\nfbdev: Fix fb_new_modelist to prevent null-ptr-deref in fb_videomode_to_var\n\ninfo->var, a framebuffer's current mode, is expected to have a matching\nentry in info->modelist. var_to_display() relies on this and treats a\nfailed fb_match_mode() as \"This should not happen\". fb_set_var() keeps it\ntrue by adding the mode to the list on every change, and\ndo_register_framebuffer() does the same at registration.\n\nstore_modes() replaces the modelist from userspace. fb_new_modelist()\nvalidates the new modes but does not check that info->var still has a\nmatch. It relies on fbcon_new_modelist() to re-point consoles, but that\nonly handles consoles mapped to the framebuffer. With fbcon unbound there\nare none, so info->var is left describing a mode that is no longer in the\nlist.\n\nA later console takeover runs var_to_display(), where fb_match_mode()\nreturns NULL and leaves fb_display[i].mode NULL. fbcon_switch() passes it\nto display_to_var(), and fb_videomode_to_var() dereferences the NULL mode.\n\nKeep the current mode in the list in fb_new_modelist(), the same way\nfb_set_var() does."}], "lastModified": "2026-08-17T05:17:15.250", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "0093C14A-7523-4D59-9391-BAD943E14053", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.260", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12.1"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "D71C101E-388C-4A46-BD99-49049F7C5CFF", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.211", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "333C9E30-7FD4-46A2-94EF-C1AA1F3EE28B", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.177", "versionStartIncluding": "5.16"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "C8AD3BC8-C843-423C-B9DB-CB52F67F578E", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.144", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "4E206B86-E0E3-4394-A93F-39F2D50A8AA8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.95", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "FA591B28-5D62-449E-BDBE-3C9391BF070A", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.38", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "9526B150-E2B3-4C6F-8AE5-1AF92B75AD9E", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.3", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.12:-:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "6F62EECE-8FB1-4D57-85D8-CB9E23CF313C"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.12:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "4F76C298-81DC-43E4-8FC9-DC005A2116EF"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.12:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "0AB349B2-3F78-4197-882B-90ADB3BF645A"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.12:rc4:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "6AC88830-A9BC-4607-B572-A4B502FC9FD0"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:2.6.12:rc5:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "476CB3A5-D022-4F13-AAEF-CB6A5785516A"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
