CVE-2025-62609: MLX is an array framework for machine learning on Apple silicon. Prior to version 0.29.4, there is a segmentation fault
Summary
MLX is an array framework for machine learning on Apple silicon that has a vulnerability where loading malicious GGUF files (a machine learning model format) causes a segmentation fault (a crash where the program tries to access invalid memory). The problem occurs because the code dereferences an untrusted pointer (uses a memory address without checking if it's valid) from an external library without validation.
Solution / Mitigation
This issue has been patched in version 0.29.4. Users should update MLX to version 0.29.4 or later.
