Impact
A null pointer dereference occurs when NetX Duo evicts the sole MSRP attribute of an MRP participant's list in versions 6.4.0 through 6.5.2.202603a built with VLAN and SRP support. This flaw can crash the running application or service. An unauthenticated station on the same Layer 2 segment can trigger this by declaring and withdrawing one MSRP attribute, and legitimate stations may also reach the same path. The impact is limited to service disruption, but repeated exploitation could lead to denial of service in embedded or real‑time systems.
Affected Systems
The affected product is Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo. Versions 6.4.0 through 6.5.2.202603a built with VLAN and SRP support are vulnerable. Any installation that performs MSRP attribute eviction on a shared Layer 2 segment may be affected.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates high risk. The EPSS score is < 1%, indicating very low likelihood of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker on the same Layer 2 segment can trigger the fault by declaring and withdrawing a single MSRP attribute; the attack requires only unauthenticated network access to the device. While the flaw does not enable code execution, repeated exploitation could be used for availability attacks.
