CVE-2026-65315 PUBLISHED

Ollama Remote Denial of Service via Attacker-Controlled Allocation in GGUF Metadata Parser

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 21.07.2026 Published: 21.07.2026 Updated: 21.07.2026

Ollama (HEAD f0078ae) contains an uncontrolled memory allocation vulnerability in the GGUF metadata parser that allows remote attackers to crash the server by supplying a crafted GGUF file with attacker-controlled length and count fields in string lengths, tensor dimension counts, and metadata array counts that are used as allocation sizes without validation against remaining file size. Attackers can upload a sub-1KB crafted GGUF file via the blob upload and model create or pull API endpoints to trigger unrecoverable Go runtime out-of-memory fatal errors or makeslice panics that bypass recovery middleware and crash the entire server process.
