Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Eclipse Foundation
Product: `eclipse-threadx/threadx` (module manager / loadable-module loader)

Description

Two issues in the ThreadX loadable-module loader, reached when a device loads an attacker-controlled module object via `_txm_module_manager_memory_load` / `_txm_module_manager_in_place_load` — APIs that take ONLY a base pointer, no image length, so every size/offset field in `TXM_MODULE_PREAMBLE` is fully attacker-trusted: (1) a heap OOB **read** (`code_size` trusted as the source-image length in the code-copy loop), and (2) a control-flow-integrity / defense-in-depth gap (module entry/start/callback/stop pointers computed as `code_start + preamble_offset` with only a `!= 0` check, and the preamble `checksum` never verified). No controlled OOB write was found (honest — the copy destination is overflow-guarded).

Technical Analysis

The vulnerability arises in the ThreadX loadable-module loader's APIs `_txm_module_manager_memory_load` and `_txm_module_manager_in_place_load`, which accept only a base pointer and do not verify the image length. The `TXM_MODULE_PREAMBLE` structure's size and offset fields are fully attacker-controlled. This results in (1) a heap out-of-bounds read caused by using the `code_size` field as the source image length during code copying, and (2) a control-flow integrity weakness where module entry, start, callback, and stop pointers are computed as `code_start + preamble_offset` with only a non-zero check, and the preamble checksum is never verified. The copy destination is protected against overflow, so no out-of-bounds write was identified.

Potential Impact

An attacker who can supply a malicious module to the loadable-module loader can cause a heap out-of-bounds read, potentially leaking memory contents. The control-flow integrity gap could allow bypassing some defense-in-depth mechanisms, but no direct code execution or write corruption was confirmed. The vulnerability requires local access (AV:L) and user interaction (UI:A), with high complexity and limited privileges, resulting in limited impact.

Mitigation Recommendations

No patch or official fix information is currently available. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, avoid loading untrusted modules via the affected APIs. Because the vulnerability requires local access and user interaction, restricting module loading to trusted sources reduces risk.
