CVE-2026-95108

MediumCVSS 6.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In ThreadX, the module manager's thread-delete dispatcher released only the first of two allocations (the TX_THREAD control block and the TXM_MODULE_KERNEL_STACK_SIZE kernel stack). The kernel stack stayed allocated until the whole module was stopped, so a module creating and deleting threads in a loop exhausted the shared object pool, preventing creation of new kernel objects and module threads system-wide.

Risk Assessment

A malicious module can exhaust the module manager's finite memory pool, causing denial of service (inability to create kernel objects and threads) for all modules in the system.

Recommendation

Apply the vendor fix for ThreadX that ensures both allocations are released when a module thread is deleted.

Original NVD description (English source)

One logical thread of a user-mode ThreadX module costs the Module Manager's shared object pool two allocations, not one. The module asks for a `TX_THREAD` control block through `txm_module_object_allocate`; `_txm_module_manager_thread_create` then takes a second allocation of `TXM_MODULE_KERNEL_STACK_SIZE` bytes for the privileged kernel stack that thread's system calls run on, and records it in the control block. Both come from `_txm_module_manager_object_pool` and both are linked onto the module's allocation list. The Module Manager's thread-delete dispatcher released only the first. The kernel stack stayed allocated until the whole module was stopped, so a module that creates, terminates and deletes threads in a loop — every state transition valid, every service returning `TX_SUCCESS` — removed a fixed block from a finite pool shared by the manager and by every other loaded module, on every cycle, for as long as it stayed loaded. Once the pool is exhausted, no memory-protected module can create any kernel object and no user-mode module thread can be created anywhere in the system. Vulnerable function: `_txm_module_manager_tx_thread_delete_dispatch`, in `common_modules/module_manager/inc/txm_module_manager_dispatch.h`.
