Description
Attacker model / Preconditions: a loaded `TXM_MODULE_USER_MODE | TXM_MODULE_MEMORY_PROTECTION` module issuing kernel dispatch calls, on a build with `TX_ENABLE_EVENT_TRACE`.



A user-mode, memory-protected module can register an arbitrary function pointer as the global trace-full callback. The kernel calls it directly — no validation, no trampoline — from privileged kernel code when the trace buffer wraps.



An invalid pointer faults the kernel (DoS). A pointer into the module's own code was observed running with kernel privilege (`CONTROL.nPRIV = 0`), confirmed at runtime with a register capture inside that code.

Impact

An Eclipse ThreadX build that enables event tracing allows a user‑mode module marked with memory protection to register a global trace‑full callback function pointer. The kernel invokes this pointer directly when the trace buffer wraps, with no validation or trampoline. If the pointer is invalid or points into the module’s own code, the kernel performs an unrestricted call from privileged code, causing a fault that crashes the kernel. The result is a denial of service that can be triggered by loading an arbitrary module and causing a trace‑buffer wrap.

Affected Systems

Eclipse ThreadX is the affected product. Builds that compile with TX_ENABLE_EVENT_TRACE and that load user‑mode, memory‑protected modules (TXM_MODULE_USER_MODE | TXM_MODULE_MEMORY_PROTECTION) are vulnerable. No specific release version is listed, so the issue applies to all ThreadX versions with the vulnerable configuration.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.3 indicates critical severity. Although no EPSS score is available and the vulnerability is not listed in KEV, the exploitation path is straightforward once a module can be loaded: register the bad callback and trigger a trace‑buffer wrap to cause the crash. The lack of validation in the kernel code makes the risk high; an attacker with the ability to load modules can repeatedly bring down systems without additional privileges.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Eclipse ThreadX patch or upgrade to a version where the trace callback validation has been fixed, as described in the official advisory.
  • If an immediate patch is unavailable, disable trace events by clearing the TX_ENABLE_EVENT_TRACE configuration flag to prevent the kernel from invoking untrusted callbacks.
  • Avoid loading user‑mode, memory‑protected modules that register trace callbacks, or restrict module loading only to trusted code.
