How this OOB access is reported varies.

At least, since not all fonts have height == 32 (e.g. font_vga_8x8 is height == 8),
allow changing vc->vc_font.height with only

	if (v.v_clin > 32)
		return -EINVAL;

validation in VT_RESIZEX looks wrong. This needs more validations.



By the way, can we find a user of VT_RESIZEX? As far as I googled with "VT_RESIZEX",
I couldn't find a userspace program; only explanation of VT_RESIZEX and kernel patches
related to VT_RESIZEX are found. Also, while console_ioctl(4) man page says

  Any parameter may be set to zero, indicating "no change"

, the assignment

	if (!v.v_vlin)
		v.v_vlin = vc->vc_scan_lines;

changes the meaning to

   If v_vlin parameter is set to zero, the value for associated console is copied
   to each console (instead of preserving current value for that console)

. Maybe for now we can try this (effectively making VT_RESIZEX == VT_RESIZE) ?
