Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
video: fbdev: vt8623fb: Check the size of screen before memset_io()
In the function vt8623fb_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:
[ 583.339036] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc90005000000
[ 583.339049] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
[ 583.339052] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
[ 583.339074] RIP: 0010:memset_orig+0x33/0xb0
[ 583.339110] Call Trace:

Fix the this by checking the value of 'screen_size' before memset_io().
