Summary
The binary resource loader in Eclipse ThreadX GUIX, function _gx_binres_pixelmap_table_load(), indexes the pixelmap table with a map_id read from the theme file without checking it against the table size. A crafted theme writes up to roughly 256 KB past the end of the table. GUIX allocates that table itself through _gx_system_memory_allocator, so the overflow corrupts GUIX's own arena, and gx_binres_theme_load() takes no size parameter that callers could use to prevent it. The default configuration is affected, since GX_BINARY_RESOURCE_SUPPORT is enabled by default.

Description from the CNA
`_gx_binres_pixelmap_table_load()` in the GUIX binary resource (theme) loader indexes the pixelmap table with a value read verbatim from the resource file and never bounds it against the table size. A crafted theme drives a write of up to roughly 256 KB past the end of the table. The overflowed buffer is allocated by GUIX itself, through `_gx_system_memory_allocator`, rather than supplied by the caller, so the loader corrupts its own arena. The public API `gx_binres_theme_load()` takes no size parameter, so no amount of caller diligence prevents this. Reproduces in the shipped default configuration; `GX_BINARY_RESOURCE_SUPPORT` is enabled by default.
