Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: altmodes/displayport: fix pin_assignment_show
This patch fixes negative indexing of buf array in pin_assignment_show
when get_current_pin_assignments returns 0 i.e. no compatible pin
assignments are found.
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in pin_assignment_show+0x26c/0x33c
