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

fbcon: Make sure modelist not set on unregistered console

It looks like attempting to write to the "store_modes" sysfs node will
run afoul of unregistered consoles:

UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:122:28
index -1 is out of range for type 'fb_info *[32]'
...
fbcon_info_from_console+0x192/0x1a0 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:122
fbcon_new_modelist+0xbf/0x2d0 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:3048

dev_attr_store+0x55/0x80 drivers/base/core.c:2439

static struct fb_info fbcon_registered_fb[FB_MAX];
...
static signed char con2fb_map[MAX_NR_CONSOLES];
...
static struct fb_info fbcon_info_from_console(int console)
...
return fbcon_registered_fb[con2fb_map[console]];

If con2fb_map contains a -1 things go wrong here. Instead, return NULL,
as callers of fbcon_info_from_console() are trying to compare against
existing "info" pointers, so error handling should kick in correctly.
