syzkaller reported this UAF: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in n_tty_receive_buf_common+0x2481/0x2940 drivers/tty/n_tty.c:1741 Read of size 1 at addr ffff8880089e40e9 by task syz-executor.1/13184 CPU: 0 PID: 13184 Comm: syz-executor.1 Not tainted 5.4.7 #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-1 04/01/2014 Call Trace: ... kasan_report+0xe/0x20 mm/kasan/common.c:634 n_tty_receive_buf_common+0x2481/0x2940 drivers/tty/n_tty.c:1741 tty_ldisc_receive_buf+0xac/0x190 drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c:461 paste_selection+0x297/0x400 drivers/tty/vt/selection.c:372 tioclinux+0x20d/0x4e0 drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:3044 vt_ioctl+0x1bcf/0x28d0 drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:364 tty_ioctl+0x525/0x15a0 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2657 vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:47 [inline] It is due to a race between parallel paste_selection (TIOCL_PASTESEL) and set_selection_user (TIOCL_SETSEL) invocations. One uses sel_buffer, while the other frees it and reallocates a new one for another selection. Add a mutex to close this race. The mutex takes care properly of sel_buffer and sel_buffer_lth only. The other selection global variables (like sel_start, sel_end, and sel_cons) are protected only in set_selection_user. The other functions need quite some more work to close the races of the variables there. This is going to happen later. This likely fixes (I am unsure as there is no reproducer provided) bug 206361 too. It was marked as CVE-2020-8648.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
