Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2024-44083. PoCs published by dynamicx64, CrackerCat.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This repository provides a detailed technical analysis of CVE-2024-44083, a resource exhaustion vulnerability in IDA Pro ≤ 8.4 caused by excessive jump chains in binary analysis. It includes pseudocode examples and mitigation strategies but does not contain functional exploit code.

Description

ida64.dll in Hex-Rays IDA Pro through 8.4 crashes when there is a section that has many jumps linked, and the final jump corresponds to the payload from where the actual entry point will be invoked. NOTE: in many use cases, this is an inconvenience but not a security issue.
