Description

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.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 2.10.0
Affected range stops below 2.10.0, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
v < 2.10.0
Affected range stops below 2.10.0, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
