      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfbcon: Set fb_display[i]->mode to NULL when the mode is released\n\nRecently, we discovered the following issue through syzkaller:\n\nBUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in fb_mode_is_equal+0x285/0x2f0\nRead of size 4 at addr ff11000001b3c69c by task syz.xxx\n...\nCall Trace:\n <TASK>\n dump_stack_lvl+0xab/0xe0\n print_address_description.constprop.0+0x2c/0x390\n print_report+0xb9/0x280\n kasan_report+0xb8/0xf0\n fb_mode_is_equal+0x285/0x2f0\n fbcon_mode_deleted+0x129/0x180\n fb_set_var+0xe7f/0x11d0\n do_fb_ioctl+0x6a0/0x750\n fb_ioctl+0xe0/0x140\n __x64_sys_ioctl+0x193/0x210\n do_syscall_64+0x5f/0x9c0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\n\nBased on experimentation and analysis, during framebuffer unregistration,\nonly the memory of fb_info->modelist is freed, without setting the\ncorresponding fb_display[i]->mode to NULL for the freed modes. This leads\nto UAF issues during subsequent accesses. Here's an example of reproduction\nsteps:\n1. With /dev/fb0 already registered in the system, load a kernel module\n   to register a new device /dev/fb1;\n2. Set fb1's mode to the global fb_display[] array (via FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP);\n3. Switch console from fb to VGA (to allow normal rmmod of the ko);\n4. Unload the kernel module, at this point fb1's modelist is freed, leaving\n   a wild pointer in fb_display[];\n5. Trigger the bug via system calls through fb0 attempting to delete a mode\n   from fb0.\n\nAdd a check in do_unregister_framebuffer(): if the mode to be freed exists\nin fb_display[], set the corresponding mode pointer to NULL.",
