CVE-2026-106464: CWE-125 Out-of-bounds Read in Eclipse Foundation NetX Duo
Description
CVE-2026-106464 is a high-severity out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Eclipse Foundation's NetX Duo library. The flaw occurs in the _nx_secure_x509_parse_signature_data function, which improperly calculates the certificate signature length without verifying that the length is non-zero. This can cause the signature length to be set to an invalid large value and the signature pointer to reference memory beyond the buffer. The vulnerability is triggered by parsing a certificate with an empty ASN.1 BIT STRING signature during a TLS handshake, where the input is remote and unauthenticated.

Technical Analysis
The vulnerability in Eclipse Foundation NetX Duo (CVE-2026-106464) arises from the _nx_secure_x509_parse_signature_data function computing the signature length as tlv_length - 1 without checking if tlv_length is zero. When a certificate with an empty ASN.1 BIT STRING signature is parsed, the signature length becomes 0xFFFFFFFF and the signature pointer points one byte past the buffer's end. This out-of-bounds read occurs during TLS handshake certificate parsing, allowing remote unauthenticated inputs to trigger the flaw.
Potential Impact
An attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate with an empty ASN.1 BIT STRING signature during the TLS handshake, causing the vulnerable function to read memory out-of-bounds. This can lead to potential memory corruption or information disclosure. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication, increasing its risk. However, no known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
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 released, users should consider mitigating exposure by controlling certificate inputs or applying other TLS handshake protections if feasible.
