NULL pointer dereference in ICMPv6 Packet Too Big processing when the destination table is full

Published Nov 2, 2026 · Updated Nov 10, 2026 · Assigned by eclipse

Description

In Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo versions 6.4.5.202504 through 6.5.2.202603a, built with IPv6 path MTU discovery, the ICMPv6 Packet Too Big handler uses the destination-table entry it adds without checking that the add succeeded. A sender on the network can fill the destination table with Packet Too Big messages quoting new destinations, after which the next message makes the IP helper thread dereference a NULL pointer, crashing it on targets that fault on address 0 and stopping all network processing.
