GHSA-QX25-W5H5-CH8M

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-19 18:31 – Updated: 2026-07-19 18:31

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: typec: ucsi: validate connector number in ucsi_connector_change()

The connector number in a UCSI CCI notification is a 7-bit field supplied by the PPM. ucsi_connector_change() uses it to index the ucsi->connector[] array without checking it against the number of connectors the PPM reported at init time, so a buggy or malicious PPM (EC firmware, or an I2C-attached UCSI controller on the ccg / stm32g0 / glink transports) can drive schedule_work() on memory past the end of the array.

Reject connector numbers that are zero or exceed cap.num_connectors before dereferencing the array.
