Am I affected?

With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.

Description

AI Tensor Engine for ROCm (AITER) through 0.1.14 contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the MessageQueue.recv() function within shm_broadcast.py that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a malicious pickle payload to a ZMQ SUB socket with no authentication, HMAC, or format validation. Attackers who can reach the writer XPUB endpoint on the cluster network or supply a forged Handle with an attacker-controlled remote_subscribe_addr can deliver a crafted pickle payload that executes arbitrary code simultaneously as the inference worker process on every remote reader worker.

Hear about the next vulnerability in your software

Surveillance reads the versions in your stack — a domain, a lockfile or a list — checks each CVE against the ranges its sources publish, and alerts you when one you run is exploited or enters CISA KEV. A version it cannot read stays « version not verified ».
