CVE-2023-29934Public exploit

Local compiler crash via unchecked conversion failure

Published May 5, 2023 · Updated Jan 29, 2025

Out-of-bounds read in LLVM Project MLIR commit 6c01b5c allows local users to crash mlir-opt with crafted MLIR input. IfOpConversion::matchAndRewrite passes a null result from typeConverter.convertType into SPIR-V pointer construction without checking conversion success. Execution requires a user or tool to run the SCF-to-SPIR-V pass on an unsupported memref yield type, and the bounded consequence is a compiler-process crash.
