Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

video: fbdev: s3fb: Check the size of screen before memset_io()

In the function s3fb_set_par(), the value of 'screen_size' is
calculated by the user input. If the user provides the improper value,
the value of 'screen_size' may larger than 'info->screen_size', which
may cause the following bug:

[ 54.083733] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc90003000000
[ 54.083742] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
