PoC: Heap Out-of-Bounds Read in MemoryReadAdapter::read()

Vulnerability: caffe2::serialize::MemoryReadAdapter::read() performs a memcpy from
data_+pos for n bytes WITHOUT checking that pos+n <= size_. The size_ member is
stored but never used in read(), enabling heap buffer over-reads.

This vulnerability is reachable via any PyTorch API that loads a model from a
byte buffer, including:
  - torch.jit.mobile._load_for_lite_interpreter(BytesIO)
  - torch._C._load_for_lite_interpreter_from_buffer(bytes)
  - torch._C.import_ir_module_from_buffer(...)
  - torch._C._get_model_bytecode_version_from_buffer(bytes)

Impact: Heap information disclosure (leaking adjacent memory), denial of service
(crash via segfault on unmapped pages).

This PoC includes:
  1. ASAN-confirmed C++ test proving the OOB read (compile with -fsanitize=address)
  2. Python demonstration showing the vulnerable code path is reachable from
     standard PyTorch model loading APIs

Affected: All PyTorch versions (the code has never had bounds checking)
Tested:   PyTorch 2.10.0+cpu on Python 3.13.11
