Upgrade github.com/ollama/ollama/fs/ggml to version 0.17.1-rc1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the GGUF model loader. An attacker can access sensitive server memory contents, including environment variables, API keys, system prompts, and concurrent users' conversation data, by submitting a specially crafted GGUF file with manipulated tensor offset and size values to the /api/create endpoint, and subsequently exfiltrating the leaked data via the /api/push endpoint to an attacker-controlled registry. This is only exploitable if the server is exposed to untrusted networks or the endpoints are accessible without authentication.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by binding the service to a trusted interface only (e.g., OLLAMA_HOST=127.0.0.1), fronting the service with a reverse proxy that requires authentication on /api/create and /api/push, and restricting outbound network egress from the host to prevent exfiltration via /api/push.
