Description
In Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo versions up to and including 6.5.2.202603, the SNMP agent's OID parser uses a multi-byte BER length from the request without checking it against the bytes present, and reads past the end of the packet buffer. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted SNMP request that makes the agent read adjacent memory into its OID state, faulting the agent on targets with memory protection.

Impact

The Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo SNMP agent parses packet contents through an out‑of‑bounds read in the OID processor. The parser accepts a multi‑byte BER length from the request without validating that the length is within the packet’s actual size, and then continues reading past the end of the packet buffer into adjacent memory. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted SNMP packet that causes the agent to spill memory into its OID state; on devices with memory protection enabled this triggers a fault and crashes the SNMP thread.

Affected Systems

Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo, specifically the SNMP agent component, is affected in all releases up to and including version 6.5.2.202603. Any embedded system that contains this component without the update is potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw is present in all releases up to and including 6.5.2.202603, affecting any device that ships NetX Duo with the SNMP extension. The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates high severity, primarily causing denial of service by crashing the SNMP agent. Exploitation requires sending a malformed SNMP request to an open SNMP port and can be performed by an unauthenticated remote attacker. The EPSS score is less than 1%, suggesting a low current exploitation probability, but the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, meaning that the absence from KEV does not diminish its relevance to embedded or industrial control environments.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update NetX Duo to the latest version that addresses the SNMP OID parsing issue
  • If an update is not yet available, disable the SNMP module or block SNMP traffic at the network perimeter to prevent crafted packets
  • Enable strict OID length checks or deploy memory protection mechanisms such as stack canaries or address space randomization on the target device
  • Monitor SNMP logs for anomalous packets and conduct regular security reviews of embedded firmware

Description hey, `_nx_snmp_utility_object_id_get` in the NetX Duo SNMP addon does not validate the claimed OID data length against the actual buffer size when the OID uses BER multibyte length encoding, so a remote attacker can send a crafted SNMP packet with a multibyte OID length larger than the available buffer, causing the parser to read past the packet buffer boundary into adjacent heap memory. the OOB bytes are decoded as OID component values and written into the agents internal OID string buffer, corrupting agent state. on systems with memory protection the OOB read poses the risk of crashing the SNMP agent thread, causing denial of service. on bare metal embedded systems without memory protection the read silently succeeds and corrupts the agents internal state with heap data.
