In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt: Clear selection before changing the font
When changing the console font with ioctl(KDFONTOP) the new font size can be bigger than the previous font. A previous selection may thus now be outside of the new screen size and thus trigger out-of-bounds accesses to graphics memory if the selection is removed in vcdoresize().
Prevent such out-of-memory accesses by dropping the selection before the various confontset() console handlers are called.
