PoC: Heap OOB Read in MemoryReadAdapter::read()

Security research PoC.

Vulnerability

caffe2::serialize::MemoryReadAdapter::read() performs memcpy(buf, data_+pos, n) without checking pos+n <= size_. The size_ member is stored but never validated in the read path, enabling heap buffer over-reads.

Files

• poc_memoryread_oob.py — Full PoC with ASAN proof + code path reachability
• test_oob_read.cpp — Standalone C++ ASAN test

Quick Start

# Run full PoC
python poc_memoryread_oob.py

# Or compile C++ test directly
g++ -fsanitize=address -g test_oob_read.cpp -o test_oob_read
./test_oob_read  # ASAN: heap-buffer-overflow

Affected

All PyTorch versions (code has never had bounds checking). Tested on PyTorch 2.10.0.
