A vulnerability in ida64.dll in Hex-Rays IDA Pro through version 8.4 allows a crafted binary with a section containing many chained jumps, where the final jump leads to the actual entry point, to cause a crash in the application. This is triggered during analysis when IDA attempts to process the jump chain.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-44083, targeting Hex-Rays IDA (versions 7.7, 8.4, 9.0) on Windows. The exploit is implemented in Rust and consists of a single main code file (src/main.rs) that takes an input x86_64 PE binary and produces a modified output binary. The tool appends a new executable section filled with a user-specified number of chained jump instructions and patches the entry point to this section. When the crafted binary is opened in a vulnerable version of IDA, it triggers a crash, demonstrating the vulnerability. The repository includes build instructions and usage examples in the README. No network or remote attack vectors are present; the attack is local and requires the victim to open the malicious file. The code is cleanly structured, using the 'clap' crate for argument parsing and 'exe' for PE manipulation.
