Details

A vulnerability was found in ggml-org llama.cpp bec4772f6. The impacted element is the function deserializetensor of the file ggml/src/ggml-rpc/ggml-rpc.cpp of the component ggml-RPC Server. Performing a manipulation of the argument op/opparams results in deserialization. The attack may be initiated remotely. This vulnerability is distinct from CVE-2026-34159 (GHSA-j8rj-fmpv-wcxw, PR #20908), which only added a buffer==nullptr rejection in createnode() and does not validate op or opparams. The reported GitHub issue was closed automatically due to inactivity.
