And there is also this Integer Overflow Vulnerability

Please consider updating freeRTOS soon :-)

Great, thank you so much, Joakim. I am sure for many developers and applications, the FreeRTOS support is a must. Today, I have to workaround the following stream buffer API of FreeRTOS because it is not thread-safe in v10.0.0:

void os_stream_flush(os_stream_t *stream)
{
    // TODO Workaround FreeRTOS bug (will be fixed in future release)
    os_critical_enter();

    xStreamBufferReset(stream->_handle);

    // TODO Workaround FreeRTOS bug (will be fixed in future release)
    os_critical_exit();
}

No problem. I'll try to update the ticket if I hear anything about us updating FreeRTOS.

Cheers,
Joakim

Hi.

This might come at a later time, but at the moment there is no plans to upgrade the FreeRTOS version in nRF5 SDK v16.

Best regards,
Joakim
