Subject: [PATCH] usb: typec: ucsi: validate connector number in
ucsi_notify_common()

The connector number extracted from CCI via UCSI_CCI_CONNECTOR() is a
7-bit field (0-127) that is used to index into the connector array in
ucsi_connector_change(). However, the array is only allocated for the
number of connectors reported by the device (typically 2-4 entries).

A malicious or malfunctioning device could report an out-of-range
connector number in the CCI, causing an out-of-bounds array access in
ucsi_connector_change().

Add a bounds check in ucsi_notify_common(), the central point where CCI
is parsed after arriving from hardware, so that bogus connector numbers
are rejected before they propagate further.
