Description

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.

Affected products

Linux kernel: from 4.13 before 6.1.176; from 6.2 before 6.6.143; from 6.7 before 6.12.93; from 6.13 before 6.18.35; from 6.19 before 7.0.12; 7.1-rc1, 7.1-rc2, 7.1-rc3, 7.1-rc4, 7.1-rc5 — fixed in 6.1.176, 6.6.143, 6.12.93, 6.18.35, 7.0.12
Linux kernel: 4.13 — fixed in 7.1

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Linux kernel 6.1.176, 6.6.143, 6.12.93, 6.18.35; Linux kernel 7.1. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
