yres and vyres can be controlled by user mode paramaters, and cause p->vrows to become a negative value. While this value be passed to real_y function, the ypos will be out of screen range. This is an out-of-bounds write bug. I think updatescrollmode is the right place to validate values supplied by a user ioctl, because only here makes --operation,and 0 is a legal value before that.
Please wrap your changelog text.

That is not the name of a person :(
And the format isn't correct, so there's nothing we can do with this patch, and the patch itself is corrupted and could not be applied :(
Also, what about checking these values earlier? How can the value be 0 earlier and be acceptable? Putting bounds on the user-provided values would be much easier, right?
thanks,
