Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: typec: ucsi: displayport: Fix OOB altmode array index

The UCSI displayport driver indexes the connector's port altmode array
with the GET_CURRENT_CAM response after checking it is not 0xff. The
port altmode array is UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES elements long. If the PPM
returns an invalid GET_CURRENT_CAM response above UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES and
not equal to 0xff, the kernel may crash with an array index OOB error.

Update the UCSI displayport driver to verify the current cam is less
than UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES before accessing the port altmode array.
