File-system exhaustion via HTTP PUT length underflow
Published Apr 6, 2025 · Updated Apr 14, 2025
Integer underflow in Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo before 6.4.3 allows remote authenticated users to exhaust file-system resources. In _nx_http_server_put_process, the server subtracts a later packet's payload length from the unsigned Content-Length remainder without first verifying that the payload fits, wrapping the remainder to a huge value. Reachability requires the Component HTTP Server with PUT processing enabled; continued upload data can fill the embedded file system and interrupt service.

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.
