Title
usb: typec: ucsi: Retrieve all the PDOs instead of just the first 4
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: ucsi: Retrieve all the PDOs instead of just the first 4 commit 4dbc6a4ef06d ("usb: typec: ucsi: save power data objects in PD mode") introduced retrieval of the PDOs when connected to a PD-capable source. But only the first 4 PDOs are received since that is the maximum number that can be fetched at a time given the MESSAGE_IN length limitation (16 bytes). However, as per the PD spec a connected source may advertise up to a maximum of 7 PDOs. If such a source is connected it's possible the PPM could have negotiated a power contract with one of the PDOs at index greater than 4, and would be reflected in the request data object's (RDO) object position field. This would result in an out-of-bounds access when the rdo_index() is used to index into the src_pdos array in ucsi_psy_get_voltage_now(). With the help of the UBSAN -fsanitize=array-bounds checker enabled this exact issue is revealed when connecting to a PD source adapter that advertise 5 PDOs and the PPM enters a contract having selected the 5th one.

This would involve two calls to the GET_PDOS command.

Pero solo se reciben los primeros 4 PDO, ya que ese es el n\u00famero m\u00e1ximo que se puede recuperar a la vez dada la limitaci\u00f3n de longitud de MESSAGE_IN (16 bytes). Sin embargo, seg\u00fan las especificaciones de PD, una fuente conectada puede anunciar hasta un m\u00e1ximo de 7 PDO. Si dicha fuente est\u00e1 conectada, es posible que el PPM haya negociado un contrato de energ\u00eda con uno de los PDO con un \u00edndice mayor que 4, y se reflejar\u00eda en el campo de posici\u00f3n del objeto del objeto de datos de solicitud (RDO).
