Vulnerability identifier: #VU139652
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 2.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause incorrect registration of alternate modes.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in svdm_consume_modes() when processing partner-supplied SVDM Discovery Modes data. A remote attacker can inject crafted SVDM values and drive the SVID index out of bounds to cause incorrect registration of alternate modes.

The issue can read adjacent fields in struct tcpm_port, and a connected USB Type-C partner can influence the loaded SVID value.
