How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 linux-6.12 to version 6.12.111-1~deb12u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.12 package and not the linux-6.12 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

power: supply: cros_usbpd: Limit port counts to EC_USB_PD_MAX_PORTS

Currently the cros_usbpd-charger driver probe iterates based on raw charger port count returned by the embedded controller. The only check is against the number of USB PD ports which the embedded controller also defines. A malicious embedded controller could return an inaccurate port count (up to 255) resulting in an out of bounds write and subsequent memory corruption.

Update helper functions in cros_usbpd-charger to limit port counts to EC_USB_PD_MAX_PORTS.
