NVD description
A vulnerability in ollama/ollama versions <=0.3.14 allows a malicious user to create a customized GGUF model file that, when uploaded and created on the Ollama server, can cause a crash due to an unchecked null pointer dereference. This can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack via remote network.
What to do
- NVD lists no fixed version yet: follow the vendor advisory below and keep Ollama off the public internet until a fix ships.
- Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
