5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bryam Vargas <redacted>

commit 48355ce49359740f52e94d3623f6fc557ce341f0 upstream.

cros_usbpd_charger_probe() reads two port counts from the EC and uses
one of them, num_charger_ports, as the loop bound when populating a
fixed-size array:

	struct port_data *ports[EC_USB_PD_MAX_PORTS];	/* 8 entries */
	...
	for (i = 0; i < charger->num_charger_ports; i++)
		charger->ports[charger->num_registered_psy++] = port;

Both num_usbpd_ports (from EC_CMD_USB_PD_PORTS) and num_charger_ports
(from EC_CMD_CHARGE_PORT_COUNT) are u8 values reported by the EC. The
only validation is a sanity check that compares the two EC-reported
values against each other:

	if (num_charger_ports < num_usbpd_ports ||
	    num_charger_ports > num_usbpd_ports + 1)
		return -EPROTO;

It never checks either count against EC_USB_PD_MAX_PORTS, the size of
the ports[] array. A malfunctioning, malicious or compromised EC that
reports num_usbpd_ports == num_charger_ports == N for any N > 8 (for
example both 255) passes this check, and the loop then writes N pointers
into the 8-entry ports[] array embedded in the devm_kzalloc()'d
charger_data, overflowing it by up to 255 - 8 = 247 entries (~1976
bytes): a slab out-of-bounds write.

Reject a port count larger than the ports[] array can hold.
