Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the USB Type-C TCPM driver lacks validation of the VDO count in Discover Identity ACK handlers, potentially causing out-of-bounds array access. An attacker via USB-C could supply a malformed VDO count, leading to kernel memory disclosure.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential leakage of sensitive kernel memory to an unauthorized USB-C device, compromising system confidentiality.

Recommendation

Apply the security patch for the Linux kernel that adds proper VDO count validation in svdm_consume_identity() and svdm_consume_identity_sop_prime() functions immediately.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: tcpm: validate VDO count in Discover Identity ACK handlers Properly validate the count passed from a device when calling svdm_consume_identity() or svdm_consume_identity_sop_prime() as the device-controlled value could index off of the static arrays, which could leak data.
