CVE-2026-27940

HIGH CVSS 3.1: 7.8 EPSS 0.01%
Updated Mar 12, 2026
llama
Parameter Value
CVSS 7.8 (HIGH)
Type CWE-190 (Integer Overflow), CWE-122 (Heap-based Buffer Overflow)
Vendor llama
Public PoC No

llama.cpp is an inference of several LLM models in C/C++. Prior to b8146, the gguf_init_from_file_impl() in gguf.cpp is vulnerable to an Integer overflow, leading to an undersized heap allocation. Using the subsequent fread() writes 528+ bytes of attacker-controlled data past the buffer boundary.

This is a bypass of a similar bug in the same file - CVE-2025-53630, but the fix overlooked some areas. This vulnerability is fixed in b8146.
