Memory disclosure via unchecked IPv4 timestamp option
Published Oct 17, 2025 · Updated Oct 17, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo before 6.4.4 allows remote attackers to disclose memory via crafted IPv4 options. The _nx_ipv4_option_process() loop checks only that one option-type byte remains, then reads three additional timestamp-option bytes without verifying the option boundary. Remote attackers need only reach an integrated device that processes the malformed option; the reported consequence is adjacent-memory disclosure without data modification or service interruption.

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.
