Upgrade Debian:14 llama.cpp to version 7965+dfsg-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream llama.cpp package and not the llama.cpp package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
