CVE-2024-31852
LowSummary
LLVM before 18.1.3 generates code in which the LR register can be overwritten without data being saved to the stack, and thus there can sometimes be an exploitable error in the flow of control. This affects the ARM backend and can be demonstrated with Clang. The vendor perspective is that they do not consider this a vulnerability.
Risk Assessment
May lead to unpredictable behavior or potential code execution in applications compiled for ARM architecture. The vendor does not consider this a vulnerability, so a fix may not be available.
Recommendation
Update LLVM to version 18.1.3 or later if possible. Consider additional security measures for ARM applications, such as sandboxing or monitoring.

- CVE-2023-26924Low
LLVM a0dab4950 has a segmentation fault in mlir::outlineSingleBlockRegion. Third parties dispute this because the LLVM security policy excludes language front-ends for which a malicious input file can cause undesirable behavior.
- CVE-2023-29933Low

- CVE-2023-29934Low
llvm-project commit 6c01b5c was discovered to contain a segmentation fault via the component mlir::Type::getDialect(). This may lead to application crashes.
- CVE-2026-13574Low
A vulnerability was found in LLVM up to version 22.1.6 in the GCRelocateInst::getBasePtr function within IntrinsicInst.cpp, which handles Bitcode files. Manipulation of input data can cause a heap-based buffer overflow. The attack requires local access, and the exploit has been publicly disclosed, although LLVM authors question whether this is a genuine security vulnerability.
- CVE-2026-13573Low
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the LLVM library in the llvm::StringMap::insert function within ValueSymbolTable.cpp. The issue affects versions up to 22.1.6 and requires local access to exploit.
