KASAN: use-after-free Read in vgacon_invert_region

[Kyungtae Kim]

(We analyzed the crash and added the result below.)

We report the crash:
"KASAN: use-after-free Read in vgacon_invert_region"

This crash was found in v4.17-rc3. Specifically, memory access (read
operation) is invalid and which is detected by KASAN.

Analysis:
The function "vt_do_resize" basically allows for resizing the screen
buffer (i.e., vc_data) beyond memory address 0x100000
(i.e., 0xffff880000100000 in this case).
We think, however, a certain memory area starting from 0x100000 is protected.
So subsequent memory access beyond this address (by
"vgacon_invert_region") causes memory access violation.
