CVE-2026-116829
llama.cpp b10398 before b11301 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in ggufinitfromreader that allows attackers to bypass tensor element-count validation by supplying shapes whose product wraps to zero. Attackers can craft GGUF files with enormous tensor extents that overflow ggmlnbytes() and strides, causing out-of-bounds memory access when buffers are sized from wrapped byte counts.
