This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
vt_ioctl: add array_index_nospec to VT_ACTIVATE
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: vt_ioctl: add array_index_nospec to VT_ACTIVATE
in vt_setactivate an almost identical code path has been patched
with array_index_nospec. In the VT_ACTIVATE path the user input
is from a system call argument instead of a usercopy.
For consistency both code paths should have the same mitigations
applied.

Subject: vt_ioctl: fix array_index_nospec in vt_setactivate
array_index_nospec ensures that an out-of-bounds value is set to zero
on the transient path. Decreasing the value by one afterwards causes
a transient integer underflow. vsa.console should be decreased first
and then sanitized with array_index_nospec.
