How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

fbcon: fix integer overflow in fbcon_do_set_font

Fix integer overflow vulnerabilities in fbcon_do_set_font() where font size calculations could overflow when handling user-controlled font parameters.

The vulnerabilities occur when:

  1. CALC_FONTSZ(h, pitch, charcount) performs h * pith * charcount multiplication with user-controlled values that can overflow.
  2. FONT_EXTRA_WORDS * sizeof(int) + size addition can also overflow
  3. This results in smaller allocations than expected, leading to buffer overflows during font data copying.

Add explicit overflow checking using check_mul_overflow() and check_add_overflow() kernel helpers to safety validate all size calculations before allocation.
