Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-16 12:30 – Updated: 2026-09-16 15:31

Details

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

usb: typec: ucsi: displayport: Fix OOB altmode array index

The UCSI displayport driver indexes the connector's port altmode array with the GET_CURRENT_CAM response after checking it is not 0xff. The port altmode array is UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES elements long. If the PPM returns an invalid GET_CURRENT_CAM response above UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES and not equal to 0xff, the kernel may crash with an array index OOB error.

Update the UCSI displayport driver to verify the current cam is less than UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES before accessing the port altmode array.

Severity

7.7 (High)

A compromised PPM can report CONNECTED plus DP partner altmodes and drive enter without a physical plug, matching other firmware-to-kernel scores.\nAC:L - The PPM fully controls the GET_CURRENT_CAM u8; any value in 30-254 (UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES is 30, 0xff is the only sentinel) deterministically indexes port_altmode[] out of bounds with no race or attacker-uncontrollable layout.\nPR:N - UCSI connector-change work, GET_CURRENT_CAM, and dp_altmode_probe\u0027s automatic enter run in kernel context from PPM notifications with no capable() or credential check, so compromised PPM/EC firmware needs no host account.\nUI:N - Partner registration and DisplayPort altmode enter run automatically from PPM connector-change events and dp_altmode_probe scheduled work; no victim must plug a cable, mount media, or open a device node.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds pointer load stays inside the host kernel UCSI DisplayPort driver and connector heap; it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary.\nC:H - cur is a full u8 used as an index into port_altmode[UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES], so values 30-254 read a kernel pointer from up to about 2KB past the array into adjacent connector/heap memory; that unbounded OOB read scores Confidentiality High.\nI:N - The OOB pointer is only compared to alt to choose 0 versus -EBUSY; it is never written, stored, or used as a write address, so there is no OOB write, use-after-free, or control-flow hijack primitive.\nA:H - An out-of-range CAM can load from unmapped heap, trip KASAN/UBSAN array-index-out-of-bounds, or oops as the fix describes, producing a kernel panic that the PPM can retrigger on each enter."

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
