Summary

CVE-2024-2452 is a high-severity Classic Buffer Overflow (CWE-120) vulnerability in Eclipse Threadx Netx Duo. Its CVSS base score is 7.0 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique NTDS (T1003.003); ranked in the top 41% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

In Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo before 6.4.0, if an attacker can control parameters of __portable_aligned_alloc() could cause an integer wrap-around and an allocation smaller than expected. This could cause subsequent heap buffer overflows.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and analysis can find missing size checks before deployment.

Input validation directly enforces size checks before buffer copies.

Engineering principles require bounds checking and safe buffer handling in design.

Memory protection limits the impact of an overflow once it occurs.
