Its zero-length rejection never sees those bytes.\n\n\n\nEvery consumer then re-walks the same area, reading a two-byte option header at the residue and subtracting `nx_icmpv6_option_length << 3` with no zero check and no remaining-length check. Three outcomes follow, selected by bytes the attacker controls.\n\n\n\n**Zero length byte.** The walker subtracts zero and advances zero. All four handlers loop forever — `_nx_icmpv6_process_ra` (`nx_icmpv6_process_ra.c:245, :528`), `_nx_icmpv6_process_ns` (`:251, :329`), `_nx_icmpv6_process_na` (`:147, :156`) and `_nx_icmpv6_process_redirect` (`:247, :350`). The walk runs in the IP thread, which is the highest-priority thread and does not yield inside the loop, so the system stops until a watchdog reset and the frame can be replayed after each one.\n\n\n\n**Non-zero length byte on a short residue.** The three unsigned counters underflow — `2 - 8` becomes `0xFFFFFFFA` — and the walk continues past the packet buffer, reading until it faults or meets a zero length byte and freezes. The Router Advertisement counter is signed and exits cleanly in this case.\n\n\n\n**One-byte residue.** The walker reads a two-byte option header, over-reading one byte.\n\n\n\nDuring a runaway walk, stray bytes parsing as a link-layer address option are copied into the neighbor cache (`nx_icmpv6_process_ns.c:280, :293`) and subsequently used as the destination MAC for frames to that neighbour, placing off-packet memory on the link. Confirmed by inspection, not reproduced.","publishedAt":"2026-09-29T17:41:28.517Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-29T18:43:50.148Z","severity":{"score":7.1,"label":"High","version":"4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","source":"eclipse"},"assigner":"eclipse","products":["Eclipse Foundation NetX Duo"],"affected":[{"vendor":"Eclipse Foundation","product":"NetX Duo","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"6.5.1.202602","versionType":"semver"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/eclipse-threadx/netxduo/security/advisories/GHSA-39p4-p83c-58hr"],"weaknesses":["CWE-125","CWE-191","CWE-835","CWE-1287"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:10:13.529Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/102xxx/CVE-2026-102714.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-102714","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-09-29T17:41:28.517Z","dateUpdated":"2026-09-29T18:43:50.148Z","assignerShortName":"eclipse","assignerOrgId":"e51fbebd-6053-4e49-959f-1b94eeb69a2c","dateReserved":"2026-09-29T16:15:10.456Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"`_nx_icmpv6_validate_options()` scans the option area with `while (length > 2)` (`common/src/nx_icmpv6_validate_options.c:79`).
