Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2024-2212 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In Eclipse ThreadX before 6.4.0, xQueueCreate() and xQueueCreateSet() functions from the FreeRTOS compatibility API (utility/rtos_compatibility_layers/FreeRTOS/tx_freertos.c) were missing parameter checks. This could lead to integer wraparound, under-allocations and heap buffer overflows.. EPSS estimates a 0.54% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
