Linux kernel: usb: typec: tcpm: Validate SVID index in svdm_consume_modes()

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: paltmode->svid = pmdata->svids[pmdata->svid_index]; If pmdata->svid_index is driven beyond SVID_DISCOVERY_MAX (16), it results in an out-of-bounds read of the pmdata->svids array.

What happened

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:

paltmode->svid = pmdata->svids[pmdata->svid_index];

Continue reading

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().

Evidence summary (plain text)

Linux kernel: usb: typec: tcpm: Validate SVID index in svdm_consume_modes() (Jul 25, 2026).
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:

    paltmode->svid = pmdata->svids[pmdata->svid_index];

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.
CVSS 7.8 (version 3.1; evidence as of Nov 6, 2026; https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-64330).
EPSS 0.1% for the following 30 days, scored Nov 6, 2026 (https://api.first.org/data/v1/epss?cve=CVE-2026-64330&date=2026-11-06).

About this data

This record was ingested from a data source. Retrieved: Nov 6, 2026, 19:36 UTC. Ingestion is not an independent editorial investigation.

NVD status: Analyzed. Publication in the NVD is not evidence of exploitation.

A CISA KEV listing documents known exploitation, not necessarily a zero-day; absence from the catalog does not prove a vulnerability has never been exploited.

Technology tags indicate possible relevance, not verified exposure. Confirm the affected product, version, and configuration against your own inventory; KEVWire does not scan your systems.
