The\nonly validation is a sanity check that compares the two EC-reported\nvalues against each other:\n\n\tif (num_charger_ports < num_usbpd_ports ||\n\t    num_charger_ports > num_usbpd_ports + 1)\n\t\treturn -EPROTO;\n\nIt never checks either count against EC_USB_PD_MAX_PORTS, the size of\nthe ports[] array. A malfunctioning, malicious or compromised EC that\nreports num_usbpd_ports == num_charger_ports == N for any N > 8 (for\nexample both 255) passes this check, and the loop then writes N pointers\ninto the 8-entry ports[] array embedded in the devm_kzalloc()'d\ncharger_data, overflowing it by up to 255 - 8 = 247 entries (~1976\nbytes): a slab out-of-bounds write.\n\nReject a port count larger than the ports[] array can hold.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.4},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0b5096f6804161b61451b1cec0e38678630be849","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2746d502b12b343384fb747bdef9cbcfbd7444a2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d1e01443b221081258ff34ea0cdd0431e4ff62e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/48355ce49359740f52e94d3623f6fc557ce341f0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/78be8b7403ff7638162438b664a07d19da76059e"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-89471","score":0.00142,"percentile":0.03444,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
