Can you try the a.out built from the original Syzkaller modified repro C program? It walks 0-7 through xres and yres of the fb_var_screeninfo struct.

I'm not familiar with exploit code. What do you want to explain via this program?

struct fb_var_screeninfo *varp = (struct fb_var_screeninfo *)0x200001c0; struct fb_var_screeninfo *starting_varp = malloc(sizeof(struct fb_var_screeninfo *));

memcpy(starting_varp, varp, sizeof(struct fb_var_screeninfo));

        memcpy(varp, starting_varp, sizeof(struct fb_var_screeninfo));

At least, I suspect there is a memory corruption bug in this program because of malloc()ing only sizeof(struct fb_var_screeninfo *) bytes.
