Subject[PATCH 5.19 064/155] vt: Clear selection before changing the font
Date
From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

commit 566f9c9f89337792070b5a6062dff448b3e7977f upstream.

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
vc_do_resize().

Prevent such out-of-memory accesses by dropping the selection before the
various con_font_set() console handlers are called.
