Code execution via overflowing allocation size
Published Aug 7, 2025 · Updated Aug 8, 2025
Integer overflow in Meta Platforms ExecuTorch 0.6.0 and earlier allows attackers to execute code by loading a crafted model. MemoryAllocator::allocateList multiplies the requested element count by sizeof(T) without checking for wraparound, then passes the undersized byte count to the allocator. Exploitation requires an application to load an attacker-controlled model and can execute code in that process or crash it.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
