Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usb: typec: altmodes/displayport: validate count before reading Status Update VDO<br />
<br />
A broken/malicious device can send the incorrect count for a status<br />
update VDO, which will cause the kernel to read uninitialized stack data<br />
and send it off elsewhere.<br />
<br />
Fix this up by correctly verifying the count for the update object.
