Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tipd: fix uninitialized typec_partner_desc in cd321x_update_work()
cd321x_update_work() passes a stack-allocated typec_partner_desc to
typec_register_partner() after initializing only usb_pd, accessory and
identity.
typec_register_partner() copies attach and deattach from the descriptor
into the partner. With those fields left unset, garbage function pointers
may be stored and later invoked from typec_partner_link_device() when a USB
device is linked to the port. Uninitialized pd_revision and usb_capability
similarly leak stack data through partner sysfs.
Zero-initialize the descriptor so optional callbacks remain NULL and the
remaining fields are zero.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB Type-C TI Power Delivery (tipd) driver. The driver fails to initialize memory for descriptor structures when handling partner device connections. An attacker connecting a USB device can cause the system to invoke uninitialized function pointers, leading to a kernel crash and a Denial of Service (DoS). In addition, uninitialized kernel stack data may be exposed through the system filesystem (sysfs), resulting in information disclosure to a local user.
