FreeRTOS-Kernel Queue Validation Flaw Needs Your Attention

FreeRTOS-Kernel versions 7.4.0 through 11.3.2 have a nasty type validation bug (CVE-2026-119086) in the xQueueSelectFromSet function. If you're running MPU-enabled builds with queue sets enabled, unprivileged tasks could exploit this to write memory in privileged context—yikes for security. Only affected if you use queue sets; standard builds are safe. Update immediately if you match these specs.
