Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63959)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: 2.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows an attacker with physical access to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in the tcpci_maxim RX message processing logic when processing a crafted USB Type-C/Power Delivery frame with a mismatched header data object count. An attacker with physical access can send a specially crafted frame to disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs when a CRC-valid frame advertises more data objects in the header than are actually present in the message body.
