In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: Wrap user-invoked calls to fbsetvar() in helper
Handle fbcon during display updates in fbsetvarfromuser(). Check with fbcon if the mode change is possible, update hardware state and finally update fbcon. Update all callers.
Only the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl currently does all steps. Other mode-changes callers in sysfs and driver code are missing fbcon-related steps.
With the new helper, ps3fb and shmobilelcdcfb no longer maintain fbcon state themselves.
