Summary
Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo from 0 through 6.5.1.202602 has an out-of-bounds read in the NetX Secure TLS 1.3 Certificate parser (CWE-125). A zero-length Certificate message wraps the length counter, which disables the bounds check and lets the parser read past the session packet buffer. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger it with a four-byte handshake header, before authentication.

Description from the CNA
The TLS 1.3 Certificate-message parser in NetX Secure decrements the message length to skip a context byte without first establishing that the message has a byte to skip. A zero-length Certificate message therefore wraps the unsigned length to `0xFFFFFFFF`, which makes the bounds check that follows vacuous and sends the parser reading past the session packet buffer. The trigger is a four-byte handshake header and requires no cryptographic validity. It is reachable pre-authentication.
