Stack exhaustion via cyclic extended-partition recursion
Published Jan 27, 2026 · Updated Jan 27, 2026
Uncontrolled recursion in Eclipse ThreadX USBX 6.4.2 and earlier allows local users to exhaust the host stack with a crafted USB disk. _ux_host_class_storage_partition_read() follows extended-partition sector references by recursively invoking _ux_host_class_storage_media_mount() without limiting depth or tracking visited sectors. Exploitation requires low privileges and user interaction with cyclic or deeply nested partition data, which can interrupt the embedded USB host stack.

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.
