In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: sm501fb: Fix buffer errors in OF binding code
The code that gets the frame buffer mode from OF has 'use after free',
'buffer overrun' and memory leaks.
info->edid_data isn't free if the probe functions fail or if
pd->def_mode is set.
If both the CRT and PANEL are enabled info->edid_data is used after
being freed and is freed twice.
The string returned by of_get_property(np, "mode", &len) is just
written over either the static "640x480-16@60" or the module parameter
string without any regard for the length (which is most likely longer).
Use kstrump() for the OF mode and free everything before freeing 'info.
A flaw was found in the fbdev: sm501fb component of the Linux kernel. The code responsible for obtaining frame buffer mode information from Open Firmware (OF) binding contains multiple memory handling errors. These include use-after-free vulnerabilities, buffer overruns when writing mode strings without proper length checks, and memory leaks. These issues could lead to system instability or potentially allow a local attacker to impact system integrity.
