"The version of pytorch installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-2953 advisory.

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in PyTorch 2.6.0+cu124. Affected by
    this issue is the function torch.mkldnn_max_pool2d. The manipulation leads to denial of service. An attack
    has to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and May be used. The real
    existence of this vulnerability is still doubted at the moment. The security policy of the project warns
    to use unknown models which might establish malicious effects. (CVE-2025-2953)
