Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of NullPointerException Catch to Detect NULL Pointer Dereference in the MultimodalTokenize() function that improperly processes NULL from mtmd_helper_bitmap_init_from_buf() function of vendored llama.cpp. An attacker can cause the application to crash and disrupt service availability by sending specially crafted base64-encoded image data that decodes to invalid media, which leads to a segmentation fault when the pointer is dereferenced.
