CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-63958
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.
