CVE-2026-102712

Out-of-bounds read in the NetX Secure DTLS ClientHello parser

Published Sep 29, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo versions up to and including 6.5.2.202603, built with DTLS server support, the NetX Secure DTLS server's ClientHello parser reads the session ID, cookie and ciphersuite list without bounding them by the bytes remaining in the message. An unauthenticated peer can send a ClientHello declaring fields longer than the message and make the server read past it; nothing read is sent back to the peer, and the read can fault the server only on targets that trap the address beyond the buffer.

Description On the first DTLS ClientHello, the parser copies a device-claimed session_id length and validates the ciphersuite-list length against the total record length instead of the remaining bytes. An unauthenticated peer drives an OOB source read of up to 255 bytes, and those bytes are echoed verbatim into the outgoing ServerHello, disclosing adjacent process memory over the network. The crash variant fires on the first packet.
