CVE-2026-102757: CWE-125 Out-of-bounds Read in Eclipse Foundation ThreadX

Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Eclipse Foundation
Product: ThreadX

Description

An unprivileged, memory-protected ThreadX module can have the kernel read and write memory at addresses of its choosing, in privileged mode, and can use that to clear the MPU enable bit and remove its own isolation boundary. The Module Manager decided whether a privileged service could dereference an object address a module named by asking only whether that address fell outside the module. The manager's object pool is outside every module, so the test was satisfied by an address shifted into the interior of one of the module's own privileged allocations, which denotes no object at all. The bytes such an address presents as a control block are bytes the module put there through ordinary create and set services, so the control block ID at the front of them could be made to read as any type the module chose, and the `_txe_` layer's ID test then agreed. The reported chain uses that to reach a privileged `memset` across an attacker-chosen range.

Technical Analysis

The vulnerability arises because the Module Manager only checks if an address falls outside a module to decide if a privileged service can dereference it. Since the object pool is outside all modules, an attacker can shift an address into their own privileged memory allocations, which contain attacker-controlled data. This data can be interpreted as a valid control block by the _txe_ layer, allowing the module to invoke privileged memset operations over attacker-chosen memory ranges. This effectively lets an unprivileged module clear the MPU enable bit and remove its isolation boundary.

Potential Impact

An attacker controlling an unprivileged ThreadX module can escalate privileges by manipulating kernel memory, disabling memory protection mechanisms, and removing isolation boundaries. This can lead to unauthorized memory access and potential compromise of the system's security integrity.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, restrict unprivileged module deployment and monitor for unusual module behavior.
