In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpm: Validate SVID index in svdm_consume_modes()
In svdm_consume_modes(), the SVID value is read from pmdata->svids using
pmdata->svid_index as an array index without bounds validation:
<pre>
paltmode->svid = pmdata->svids[pmdata->svid_index];
</pre>
If pmdata->svid_index is driven beyond SVID_DISCOVERY_MAX (16), it results
in an out-of-bounds read of the pmdata->svids array. Because pd_mode_data
is embedded inside struct tcpm_port, indexing past svids reads into
adjacent fields. In particular:
- At index 16, it reads the altmodes count.
- At index 18 and beyond, it reads into altmode_desc[], which contains
partner-supplied SVDM Discovery Modes VDOs.
By injecting a chosen SVID into altmode_desc[0].vdo and driving svid_index
to 20, the partner can force paltmode->svid to be loaded with an arbitrary,
partner- chosen SVID, which is then registered via
typec_partner_register_altmode().
Fix this by validating that pmdata->svid_index is non-negative and strictly
less than pmdata->nsvids before accessing the pmdata->svids array inside
svdm_consume_modes().
