HIGH Integrity impact
NONE Availability impact
HIGH Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: fix potential out of bounds in ucsi_ccg_update_set_new_cam_cmd() The "*cmd" variable can be controlled by the user via debugfs. That means "new_cam" can be as high as 255 while the size of the uc->updated[] array is UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES (30). The call tree is: ucsi_cmd() // val comes from simple_attr_write_xsigned() -> ucsi_send_command() -> ucsi_send_command_common() -> ucsi_run_command() // calls ucsi->ops->sync_control() -> ucsi_ccg_sync_control()

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Overread Buffers An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
