[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] console: Avoid dereferencing NULL active_console

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

The console_select() function does not check that active_console is
non-NULL before dereferencing it.  When invoked with qemu -nodefaults it
is possible to hit this case.

This patch checks that active_console is non-NULL before stashing away
the old console dimensions in console_select().
