About this tag
The cve 2026 63960 tag covers reporting on a Linux kernel vulnerability in the Whiskey Cove Type-C and USB Power Delivery driver. The flaw involves a receive routine that can write beyond a fixed-size Power Delivery message structure when processing a length reported by a connected USB-C partner. The issue is linked to insufficient bounds handling and use of a register-access API through an incorrect pointer type. Tagged coverage focuses on the security significance of USB-C driver memory handling, how an apparently narrow hardware interface defect can affect the operating system, and the compact kernel patch intended to correct the out-of-bounds write.
