But only the first 4 PDOs are received since\nthat is the maximum number that can be fetched at a time given the\nMESSAGE_IN length limitation (16 bytes). However, as per the PD spec\na connected source may advertise up to a maximum of 7 PDOs.\n\nIf such a source is connected it's possible the PPM could have\nnegotiated a power contract with one of the PDOs at index greater\nthan 4, and would be reflected in the request data object's (RDO)\nobject position field. This would result in an out-of-bounds access\nwhen the rdo_index() is used to index into the src_pdos array in\nucsi_psy_get_voltage_now().\n\nWith the help of the UBSAN -fsanitize=array-bounds checker enabled\nthis exact issue is revealed when connecting to a PD source adapter\nthat advertise 5 PDOs and the PPM enters a contract having selected\nthe 5th one.\n\n[ 151.545106][ T70] Unexpected kernel BRK exception at EL1\n[ 151.545112][ T70] Internal error: BRK handler: f2005512 [#1] PREEMPT SMP\n...\n[ 151.545499][ T70] pc : ucsi_psy_get_prop+0x208/0x20c\n[ 151.545507][ T70] lr : power_supply_show_property+0xc0/0x328\n...\n[ 151.545542][ T70] Call trace:\n[ 151.545544][ T70] ucsi_psy_get_prop+0x208/0x20c\n[ 151.545546][ T70] power_supply_uevent+0x1a4/0x2f0\n[ 151.545550][ T70] dev_uevent+0x200/0x384\n[ 151.545555][ T70] kobject_uevent_env+0x1d4/0x7e8\n[ 151.545557][ T70] power_supply_changed_work+0x174/0x31c\n[ 151.545562][ T70] process_one_work+0x244/0x6f0\n[ 151.545564][ T70] worker_thread+0x3e0/0xa64\n\nWe can resolve this by instead retrieving and storing up to the\nmaximum of 7 PDOs in the con->src_pdos array.
