CVE-2026-102728: CWE-126 Buffer Over-read in Eclipse Foundation NetX Duo
CVE-2026-102728 is a buffer over-read vulnerability in the Eclipse Foundation's NetX Duo TLS/DTLS client handshake parsers. The flaw occurs because the parsers read fields from a server-supplied message before verifying the message length, leading to out-of-bounds reads. This issue affects clients connecting to malicious or malformed servers. The vulnerability is present in versions from 0 up to and including 6.5.1.202602. No CVSS score or patch information is currently available.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves two client-side TLS/DTLS handshake parsers in NetX Secure that perform out-of-bounds reads by accessing fields in a server-supplied message before confirming the message is sufficiently long. Although a bounds check exists, it is executed after the unsafe read, allowing a remote attacker controlling a malicious or malformed server to trigger these out-of-bounds reads during the handshake process. The issue affects NetX Duo versions >=0 and <=6.5.1.202602.
Potential Impact
The impact is a buffer over-read on a remotely reachable code path during TLS/DTLS client handshakes. This could potentially lead to information disclosure or application instability. However, no known exploits are reported in the wild, and no CVSS score is assigned to quantify severity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid connecting NetX Duo TLS/DTLS clients to untrusted or potentially malicious servers.
