Memory disclosure via truncated ICMPv6 option parsing
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 read memory via malformed ICMPv6 options. The _nx_icmpv6_validate_options() loop reads an option length field before confirming that the remaining packet buffer holds a complete option structure. A packet ending with a partial option structure is sufficient; no privileges or user interaction are required, and the published impact is limited to information disclosure.

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.
