This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
vt: Reject zero-sized screen buffer size.
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.

syzbot is reporting general protection fault in do_con_write() [1] caused by vc->vc_screenbuf == ZERO_SIZE_PTR caused by vc->vc_screenbuf_size == 0 caused by vc->vc_cols == vc->vc_rows == vc->vc_size_row == 0 caused by fb_set_var() from ioctl(FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO) on /dev/fb0 , for gotoxy(vc, 0, 0) from reset_terminal() from vc_init() from vc_allocate() from con_install() from tty_init_dev() from tty_open() on such console causes vc->vc_pos == 0x10000000e due to ((unsigned long) ZERO_SIZE_PTR) + -1U * 0 + (-1U << 1).
I don't think that a console with 0 column or 0 row makes sense. And it seems that vc_do_resize() does not intend to allow resizing a console to 0 column or 0 row due to
new_cols = (cols ? cols : vc->vc_cols); new_rows = (lines ? lines : vc->vc_rows);
exception.
Theoretically, cols and rows can be any range as long as 0 < cols * rows * 2 <= KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is satisfied (e.g. cols == 1048576 && rows == 2 is possible) because of
vc->vc_size_row = vc->vc_cols << 1; vc->vc_screenbuf_size = vc->vc_rows * vc->vc_size_row;
in visual_init() and kzalloc(vc->vc_screenbuf_size) in vc_allocate().
Since we can detect cols == 0 or rows == 0 via screenbuf_size = 0 in visual_init(), we can reject kzalloc(0). Then, vc_allocate() will return an error, and con_write() will not be called on a console with 0 column or 0 row.
We need to make sure that integer overflow in visual_init() won't happen. Since vc_do_resize() restricts cols <= 32767 and rows <= 32767, applying 1 <= cols <= 32767 and 1 <= rows <= 32767 restrictions to vc_allocate() will be practically fine.
This patch does not touch con_init(), for returning -EINVAL there does not help when we are not returning -ENOMEM.
