Summary
Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo versions from 6.4.5.202504 through 6.5.2.202603a, built with IPv6 path MTU discovery, are affected. The ICMPv6 Packet Too Big handler uses a destination table entry without checking that the add succeeded, which leads to a NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476). A remote sender on the network can fill the destination table, then crash the IP helper thread on targets that fault on address 0, stopping all network processing.

Description from the CNA
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.
