Summary

llama.cpp builds b7492 through the latest b9060 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in llama-server affecting six tokenization endpoints (/tokenize, /detokenize, /infill, /apply-template, /rerank, and /anthropic/count_tokens) that bypass the task queue and access ctx_server.vocab directly on HTTP worker threads. Attackers can exploit a time-of-check-time-of-use race condition where the main thread destroys and frees vocab after the synchronization lock is released but before the handler finishes using it, causing a crash or potential code execution when --sleep-idle-seconds is configured.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker can cause a server crash or potentially execute arbitrary code, which may lead to system integrity compromise or server takeover.

Recommendation

Update llama.cpp to a version newer than b9060 that contains the fix. If possible, disable the --sleep-idle-seconds feature or restrict access to the endpoints.
