Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: check return value of con2fb_acquire_newinfo()
If fbcon_open() fails when called from con2fb_acquire_newinfo() then
info->fbcon_par pointer remains NULL which is later dereferenced.
Add check for return value of the function con2fb_acquire_newinfo() to
avoid it.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
A flaw was found in the fbcon component of the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit a missing return value check in the con2fb_acquire_newinfo() function. This oversight can lead to a null pointer dereference, potentially causing a system crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
