This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

vt_ioctl: fix array_index_nospec in vt_setactivate

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.

From 61cc70d9e8ef5b042d4ed87994d20100ec8896d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakob Koschel jakobkoschel@gmail.com Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2022 15:44:04 +0100 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.
