Unauthenticated memory disclosure via oversized TLS PSK identity
Published Oct 15, 2025 · Updated Oct 15, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo before 6.4.4 allows remote attackers to disclose adjacent memory via a TLS ClientHello. _nx_secure_tls_psk_identity_find() passes the attacker-controlled PSK identity length to memcmp() before verifying it against the stored identity size. Exploitation requires a TLS endpoint configured with pre-shared keys; repeated comparisons can reveal adjacent bytes and, when keys are contiguous, recover key material.

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.
