PyTorch Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via Untrusted Checkpoint Files
PyTorch is a Python package that provides tensor computation. Prior to version 2.10.0, a vulnerability in PyTorch's `weights_only` unpickler allows an attacker to craft a malicious checkpoint file (`.pth`) that, when loaded with `torch.load(..., weights_only=True)`, can corrupt memory and potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. Version 2.10.0 fixes the issue.
A flaw was found in PyTorch, a Python package for tensor computation. A remote attacker could craft a malicious checkpoint file, which, when loaded using the `weights_only` unpickler, could lead to memory corruption. This vulnerability may enable an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
