CVE-2026-94192

HighCVSS 8.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A ThreadX module allocates the control blocks of its kernel objects from the Module Manager's object pool, and can ask for that memory back by address with txm_module_object_deallocate. The manager released it whatever was in it, including a control block the kernel was still using. Deallocation is not deletion: the object stays on the created list for its type, a thread stays wherever it was on the ready or suspension lists and stays schedulable, and an active timer stays on the timer list. The byte pool is meanwhile free to hand those same bytes to the next allocation.

Risk Assessment

Reuse of freed memory by the kernel may lead to corruption of kernel structures, unpredictable behavior and potential code execution. This may threaten system stability and security.

Recommendation

Apply the vendor fix for ThreadX that prevents freeing control blocks still in use by the kernel. Until then, review modules using txm_module_object_deallocate.
