Doc Text:
A heap based buffer overflow flaw has been discovered in the python MLX library. The heap buffer overflow exists in `mlx::core::load()` and can be triggered when parsing malicious NumPy .npy files. An attacker-controlled file can cause a 13-byte out-of-bounds read, leading to crash or information disclosure.
