"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvc_screen: reload vc pointer before if (ret) in vcs_write() to avoid UAF\n\nThe reload of 'vc' added by commit 8fb9ea65c9d1 (\"vc_screen: reload load\nof struct vc_data pointer in vcs_write() to avoid UAF\") sits after the\n'if (ret)' block, so the copy-failure break path exits the loop without\nreloading vc. If the vc was kfree()'d via vc_port_destruct during the\nunlocked copy_from_user() window, the post-loop\n'if (written && vc) vcs_scr_updated(vc)' is reached with a stale\nnon-NULL vc. The '&& vc' guard from commit a287620312dc (\"vc_screen:\nfix null-ptr-deref in vcs_notifier() during concurrent vcs_write\") only\nhandles the NULL case, not this stale-non-NULL case; vcs_notifier() then\nreads param->vc->vc_num from freed memory:\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in vcs_notifier+0x7c/0xd0\n Read of size 2 at addr ffff888007149190\n Call Trace:\n vcs_notifier+0x7c/0xd0\n atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x70/0xa0\n vcs_scr_updated+0x77/0xa0\n vcs_write+0x71b/0x7e0\n Allocated by task: vc_allocate -> con_install -> tty_open\n Freed by task: kfree <- vt_ioctl (VT_DISALLOCATE -> vc_port_destruct)\n\nMove the reload to immediately after console_lock(), before 'if (ret)',\nso every break path below passes a fresh vc to the post-loop\nvcs_scr_updated()."
