Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB Type-C subsystem. This vulnerability allows a malicious or buggy Power Delivery Microcontroller (PPM), such as embedded controller (EC) firmware or an I2C-attached Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C Connector System Interface (UCSI) controller, to provide an invalid connector number. This invalid number is then used to access memory beyond the intended array boundaries, which can lead to a system crash. The primary consequence is a denial of service, making the system unavailable.
