Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Eclipse ThreadX up to 6.3.x. It has been classified as critical. This affects the function xQueueCreate/xQueueCreateSet of the file utility/rtos_compatibility_layers/FreeRTOS/tx_freertos.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a heap-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-122. A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc(). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In Eclipse ThreadX before 6.4.0, xQueueCreate() and xQueueCreateSet() functions from the FreeRTOS compatibility API (utility/rtos_compatibility_layers/FreeRTOS/tx_freertos.c) were missing parameter checks. This could lead to integer wraparound, under-allocations and heap buffer overflows.

The weakness was disclosed by Marco Ivaldi. It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2024-2212 since 03/06/2024. The exploitability is told to be easy. Attacking locally is a requirement. Technical details and a public exploit are known.

The exploit is shared for download at packetstormsecurity.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.

Upgrading to version 6.4.0 eliminates this vulnerability.
