Summary
A flaw was found in ggml-org llama.cpp (commit e15efe0) in the transform function of common/json-schema-to-grammar.cpp, causing uncontrolled recursion during JSON-Schema-to-GBNF conversion. The attack can be initiated remotely.
Risk Assessment
A remote attacker can cause application crashes or resource exhaustion by sending a specially crafted request.
Recommendation
Monitor the repository and apply the fix once it becomes available.
Other vulnerabilities in llama.cpp
See all- CVE-2026-107183High
llama.cpp before b11393 contains a use-after-free and double free vulnerability in common_chat_peg_mapper::map that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to corrupt heap memory via a dangling current_tool pointer. Attackers can submit a chat_parser in a POST /completion request emitting a tool-id after a tool-close tag to crash llama-server and shape a heap write primitive.
- CVE-2026-86317Medium
A vulnerability was detected in ggml-org llama.cpp up to 0.4.0. This impacts the function rpc_server::deserialize_tensor of the file ggml/src/ggml-rpc/ggml-rpc.cpp of the component RPC Server. Performing a manipulation of the argument ne results in reachable assertion. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The reported GitHub issue was closed automatically due to inactivity.
- CVE-2026-52132High
llama.cpp through commit 97f06e9, when started with the --reranking flag, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (std::bad_alloc and HTTP 500) via a negative top_n value in a POST request to /rerank.
- CVE-2026-52131High
llama.cpp b5693 and before has a Reachable Assertion via the gguf_reader::read function.
- CVE-2026-52130High
llama.cpp b5693 and before is vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion in common/json-schema-to-grammar.cpp, resulting in a denial of service.
- CVE-2026-78148Medium
A vulnerability was determined in ggml-org llama.cpp bec4772f6 in the rpc_server::graph_compute function of ggml/src/ggml-rpc/ggml-rpc.cpp of the ggml-RPC Server component. Executing a manipulation can lead to null pointer dereference. The attack may be launched remotely. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.
- CVE-2026-78147High
A vulnerability in llama.cpp in the deserialize_tensor function of ggml/src/ggml-rpc/ggml-rpc.cpp of the ggml-RPC Server component. Manipulation of the op/op_params arguments leads to deserialization. The attack can be initiated remotely. This vulnerability is distinct from CVE-2026-34159, which only added a buffer==nullptr rejection in create_node() and does not validate op or op_params. The reported GitHub issue was closed automatically due to inactivity.
- CVE-2026-70640High
llama.cpp builds b1886 through b7445 contain a race condition use-after-free vulnerability in the LLaMA-Android JNI wrapper where bench_1model() and free_1context() lack synchronization, allowing Thread A to operate on freed memory while Thread B concurrently frees the llama_context. Attackers can exploit this by performing heap spray with attacker-controlled data containing a fake vtable to hijack the vtable pointer and achieve remote code execution.
- CVE-2026-70639Medium
In llama.cpp builds b1886 through b7445, there is a null pointer dereference vulnerability in the LLaMA-Android JNI wrapper where the bench_1model() function fails to validate the model context pointer before dereferencing it. Attackers can supply a malicious, corrupt, or truncated model file to trigger a null context condition, causing a SIGSEGV crash that terminates the Android application process.
- CVE-2026-70638High
llama.cpp builds b1886 through b7445 contain an integer overflow vulnerability in the LLaMA-Android JNI wrapper where the new_1batch() function multiplies sizeof(llama_seq_id) by an attacker-controlled n_seq_max parameter without overflow validation, causing heap buffer allocation to wrap and allocate insufficient memory. Attackers can exploit this by providing a crafted n_seq_max value through a malicious model file or JNI call to trigger heap corruption and achieve denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
