Buffer overflow in the Mach-O input file loader in Hex-Rays IDA Pro 5.7 and 6.0 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Macho-O file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This affects older Hex-Rays IDA Pro versions used by reverse engineers. A malicious Mach-O file could crash the tool and might run code on the analyst workstation. Risk is concentrated in teams that open untrusted Apple/Mach-O samples. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running IDA Pro 5.7 or 6.0, especially malware analysis, product security, and reverse-engineering teams processing Mach-O files from untrusted sources. Treat this as a targeted workstation risk, not broad enterprise exposure. Prioritize teams handling untrusted binaries, because compromise of analyst systems can expose sensitive tooling, samples, credentials, and investigations. Mitigation focus: Inventory IDA Pro installations and identify versions 5.7 and 6.0.; Check Hex-Rays vendor guidance for the applicable fix or upgrade path.; Avoid opening untrusted Mach-O files in affected IDA Pro versions..
