CVE-2026-55093: tract-nnef: integer overflow in NNEF `.dat` tensor parser yields an out-of-bounds read on model load
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.18% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: tract-nnef (crates.io) 0.21.16, 0.22.2, 0.23.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to tract-nnef (crates.io) 0.21.16, 0.22.2, 0.23.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Tract is a tiny, no-nonsense, self-contained TensorFlow and ONNX inference toolkit. Prior to 0.21.16, 0.22.2, and 0.23.1, tract-nnef uses unchecked usize multiplication in nnef/src/tensors.rs read_tensor for attacker-controlled tensor dimensions, the allocation size, and the reported tensor length. Loading a crafted NNEF archive through model_for_path or model_for_read reaches the default DatLoader and can make the wrapped size check accept a small allocation while data/src/tensor.rs as_slice_unchecked creates a much larger logical slice. Model construction through as_uniform can then read beyond the heap allocation and disclose adjacent data, and later access can terminate the process with a segmentation fault. The affected dense numeric tensor path does not include the independently guarded bool, String, or block-quant paths, and no out-of-bounds write or code execution was demonstrated. This issue is fixed in versions 0.21.16, 0.22.2, and 0.23.1.
