CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: pytorch (CVE-2025-32434)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 235214

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of pytorch installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-32434 advisory.

- PyTorch is a Python package that provides tensor computation with strong GPU acceleration and deep neural networks built on a tape-based autograd system. In version 2.5.1 and prior, a Remote Command Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in PyTorch when loading a model using torch.load with weights_only=True. This issue has been patched in version 2.6.0. (CVE-2025-32434)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
