CVE-2024-22476: Improper input validation in some Intel® Neural Compressor software. Intel fixes exploited bugs. (16th May 2024)

Preface: Intel Neural Compressor performs model optimization to reduce the model size and increase the speed of deep learning inference for deployment on CPUs or GPUs.

Background: Intel Neural Compressor is an open source Python* library that performs model compression techniques such as quantization, pruning, and knowledge distillation across multiple deep learning frameworks including TensorFlow*, PyTorch*, and ONNX* (Open Neural Network Exchange) Runtime. The model compression techniques reduce the model size and increase the speed of deep learning inference for more efficient deployment on CPUs or GPUs.

Vulnerability details: Improper input validation in some Intel® Neural Compressor software before version 2.5.0 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via remote access.

Ref: GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories. There is an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-40590. On Windows, GitPython uses an untrusted search path if it uses a shell to run `git`, as well as when it runs `bash.exe` to interpret hooks. If either of those features are used on Windows, a malicious `git.exe` or `bash.exe` may be run from an untrusted repository. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.41.
