CRITICAL 9.8REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2024-35198 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.8) affecting torchserve. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

TorchServe is a flexible and easy-to-use tool for serving and scaling PyTorch models in production. TorchServe 's check on allowed_urls configuration can be by-passed if the URL contains characters such as ".." but it does not prevent the model from being downloaded into the model store. Once a file is downloaded, it can be referenced without providing a URL the second time, which effectively bypasses the allowed_urls security check. Customers us

pytorch torchserve UPGRADE

Affected: >= 0.4.2 and < 0.11.0

Fixed in: 0.11.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.4.2

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy torchserve || rpm -q torchserve || torchserve --version

2. UPGRADE to 0.11.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade torchserve

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade torchserve

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.4.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison torchserve sudo apt install torchserve=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.4.2> sudo apt-mark hold torchserve

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list torchserve sudo dnf downgrade torchserve-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.4.2> sudo dnf versionlock add torchserve

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
