In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: wcove: don't write past struct pd_message in wcove_read_rx_buffer()
wcove_read_rx_buffer() copies the PD RX FIFO into the caller's
struct pd_message with
for (i = 0; i < USBC_RXINFO_RXBYTES(info); i++)
regmap_read(wcove->regmap, USBC_RX_DATA + i, msg + i);
which has two problems:
USBC_RXINFO_RXBYTES() is a 5-bit field (max 31) while struct pd_message
is 30 bytes (__le16 header + __le32 payload[PD_MAX_PAYLOAD], packed).
The byte count latched in RXINFO is the number of bytes the port partner
put on the wire, so a malicious partner that transmits a 31-byte frame
can drive the loop one byte past the destination if the WCOVE BMC
receiver does not enforce the PD object-count limit in hardware. The
existing FIXME flagged this as unverified.
Independently, regmap_read() takes an unsigned int * and stores a full
unsigned int at the destination. Passing the byte pointer msg + i means
each iteration writes four bytes; the high three are zero (val_bits is
8) and are normally overwritten by the next iteration, but the final
iteration's high bytes are not. With RXBYTES == 30 the i == 29 iteration
already writes three zero bytes past msg, which sits on the IRQ thread's
stack in wcove_typec_irq().
Clamp the loop to sizeof(struct pd_message) and read each register into
a local before storing only its low byte, so the copy can never exceed
the destination regardless of what RXINFO reports.

BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
