CVE-2026-96406: CWE-125 Out-of-bounds Read in Eclipse Foundation Eclipse ThreadX - USBX
Description
CVE-2026-96406 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Eclipse Foundation's Eclipse ThreadX USBX component. The issue arises when a VideoStreaming interface reports a larger descriptor block size than it actually supplies, causing the host to read beyond the end of the configuration buffer. This can lead to memory access violations in the host context when querying format or frame data. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 6.5.1.202602. The CVSS score is 4.9, indicating a medium severity level.

Technical Analysis
This vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in the USBX component of Eclipse ThreadX. Specifically, the VideoStreaming interface reports the size of its class-specific descriptor block in the wTotalLength field, which the USBX host uses as a budget for parsing descriptors. However, the host does not verify this size against the actual configuration descriptor length received. If a device reports a wTotalLength larger than the actual descriptors, the host continues reading past the end of the buffer, causing out-of-bounds memory access in the host's context when applications query format or frame data.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can cause the host system to read memory beyond the intended buffer, potentially leading to application crashes or denial of service (availability impact). The CVSS vector indicates low confidentiality and integrity impact but high availability impact. There is no indication of code execution or data disclosure from the provided data.
Mitigation Recommendations
No explicit patch or remediation information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, users should exercise caution when connecting untrusted USB devices that use the VideoStreaming interface in affected versions.
