FKIE_CVE-2026-33298

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-03-24 01:17 - Updated: 2026-03-24 15:53
Severity ?
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
llama.cpp is an inference of several LLM models in C/C++. Prior to b7824, an integer overflow vulnerability in the `ggml_nbytes` function allows an attacker to bypass memory validation by crafting a GGUF file with specific tensor dimensions. This causes `ggml_nbytes` to return a significantly smaller size than required (e.g., 4MB instead of Exabytes), leading to a heap-based buffer overflow when the application subsequently processes the tensor. This vulnerability allows potential Remote Code Execution (RCE) via memory corruption. b7824 contains a fix.

Antes de b7824, una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de entero en la funci\u00f3n `ggml_nbytes` permite a un atacante eludir la validaci\u00f3n de memoria al crear un archivo GGUF con dimensiones de tensor espec\u00edficas. Esto hace que `ggml_nbytes` devuelva un tama\u00f1o significativamente menor al requerido (por ejemplo, 4MB en lugar de Exabytes), lo que lleva a un desbordamiento de b\u00fafer basado en mont\u00edculo cuando la aplicaci\u00f3n procesa posteriormente el tensor.
