ThreadX DoS via Thread Priority Escalation (<6.4.3)
CVE-2025-55079 Published on October 15, 2025

Missing check for thread priority
In Eclipse ThreadX before version 6.4.3, the thread module has a setting of maximum priority. In some cases the check of that maximum priority wasn't performed, allowing, as a result, to obtain a thread with higher priority than expected and causing a possible denial of service.
