Kernel-memory disclosure via unvalidated syscall name pointer
Published Feb 8, 2025 · Updated Feb 16, 2025
Information disclosure in RT-Thread Smart 5.1.0 and earlier allows local users to read kernel memory through crafted LWP syscall arguments. In sys_thread_create, lwp_syscall.c passes the user-supplied arg[0] name pointer directly to rt_thread_create without validating that it references user memory. Low-privileged local code is required, and the documented consequence is disclosure of sensitive kernel data without integrity or availability impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
