The out-of-bound access seems to be in vgacon_scroll() and thus
in vgacon code.

Unfortunately, most people in CC are printk-guys. They were mentioned
by ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/video/console/vgacon.c
just because the very last comment (tree wide pr_warning() clean up).

Bartolomej seems to be the only relevant name.

Bartolomej,

are you going to look at it? Or should we add more people or some list
(dri-devel@...ts.freedesktop.org or linux-fbdev@...r.kernel.org) into CC?

Thanks,
Petr
