Description
MLX is an array framework for machine learning on Apple silicon. Prior to version 0.29.4, there is a heap buffer overflow in mlx::core::load() when parsing malicious NumPy .npy files. Attacker-controlled file causes 13-byte out-of-bounds read, leading to crash or information disclosure. This issue has been patched in version 0.29.4.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a heap buffer overflow in the MLX array framework for machine learning on Apple silicon. It occurs in the mlx::core::load() function when parsing malicious NumPy .npy files. The attacker can craft a file that causes a 13-byte out-of-bounds read, which can lead to a crash or information disclosure.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can cause the application using MLX to crash or potentially disclose sensitive information due to the out-of-bounds read caused by a maliciously crafted NumPy file. This could lead to denial of service or leakage of information.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the MLX array framework to version 0.29.4 or later, as this version contains the patch that fixes the heap buffer overflow vulnerability caused by parsing malicious NumPy .npy files.
