[PATCH] fbdev: color map copying bounds checking

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Jan 05 2017 - 18:14:08 EST


Copying color maps to userspace doesn't check the value of to->start,
which will cause kernel heap buffer OOB read due to signedness wraps.

CVE-2016-8405

Reported-by: Peter Pi (@heisecode) of Trend Micro
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
