NVD description
llama.cpp before b3701 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in llama_decode_internal and llama_encode_internal that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read memory by supplying unvalidated token IDs. Attackers can send integer-array prompts to the llama-server /completion endpoint with IDs outside 0 to n_vocab to read embedding memory out of bounds or crash the process.
What to do
- Upgrade llama.cpp to
b3701or later. - Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
