[PATCH] vgacon: fix out of bounds write to the scrollback buffer

[Jiri Slaby]

The current vgacon's scroll up implementation uses a circural buffer
in vgacon_scrollback_cur. It always advances tail to prepare it for the
next write and caps it to zero if the next ->vc_size_row bytes won't fit.

But when we change the VT size (e.g. by VT_RESIZE) in the meantime, the new
line might not fit to the end of the scrollback buffer in the next
attempt to scroll. This leads to various crashes as
vgacon_scrollback_update writes out of the buffer:
 BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc900001752a0
 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
 #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
 RIP: 0010:mutex_unlock+0x13/0x30
...
 Call Trace:
  n_tty_write+0x1a0/0x4d0
  tty_write+0x1a0/0x2e0

Or to KASAN reports:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in vgacon_scroll+0x57a/0x8ed

So check whether the line fits in the buffer and wrap if needed. Do it
before the loop as console_sem is held and ->vc_size_row cannot change
during the execution of vgacon_scrollback_cur. If it does change, we
need to ensure it does not change elsewhere, not here.

Also, we do not split the write of a line into chunks as that would
break the consumers of the buffer. They expect ->cnt, ->tail and ->size
to be in harmony and advanced by ->vc_size_row.

I found few reports of this in the past, some with patches included,
some even 2 years old:

This fixes CVE-2020-14331.

Big thanks to guys mentioned in the Reported-and-debugged-by lines below
who actually found the root cause.
