4DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability classified as critical was found in RT-Thread 5.1.0. This vulnerability affects the function csys_sendto of the file rt-thread/components/lwp/lwp_syscall.c. The manipulation of the argument to leads to null pointer dereference.
AnalysisAI
Critical null pointer dereference vulnerability in RT-Thread 5.1.0's lwp_syscall.c csys_sendto function, allowing authenticated local attackers to cause denial of service and potentially achieve code execution with high integrity impact. The vulnerability requires local access and valid credentials but exploits a memory safety flaw in a core system call handler that could be leveraged for privilege escalation or system instability in embedded/IoT deployments running RT-Thread.
Technical ContextAI
RT-Thread is a real-time operating system commonly used in embedded systems and IoT devices. The vulnerable component is located in rt-thread/components/lwp/lwp_syscall.c, specifically in the csys_sendto function which handles the sendto system call for socket operations. CWE-404 (Improper Resource Validation) indicates that the function fails to properly validate pointer arguments before dereferencing them, resulting in a null pointer dereference condition. The lwp (Lightweight Process) component provides POSIX-like process management on RT-Thread. The vulnerability exists in version 5.1.0 and potentially affects other versions in the same branch. CPE identifier would be: cpe:2.3:a:rt-thread:rt-thread:5.1.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and related version ranges.
