Ollama before 0.17.1 contains a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the GGUF model loader. The /api/create endpoint accepts an attacker-supplied GGUF file in which the declared tensor offset and size exceed the file's actual length; during quantization in fs/ggml/gguf.go and server/quantization.go (WriteTo()), the server reads past the allocated heap buffer. The leaked memory contents may include environment variables, API keys, system prompts, and concurrent users' conversation data, and can be exfiltrated by uploading the resulting model artifact through the /api/push endpoint to an attacker-controlled registry. The /api/create and /api/push endpoints have no authentication in the upstream distribution. Default deployments bind to 127.0.0.1, but the documented OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0 configuration is widely used in practice (large public-internet exposure observed).

A critical authentication bypass vulnerability exists in Ollama platform's API endpoints in versions prior to and including v0.12.3. The platform exposes multiple API endpoints without requiring authentication, enabling remote attackers to perform unauthorized model management operations.

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.

A vulnerability in ollama/ollama <=0.3.14 allows a malicious user to create a customized GGUF model file, upload it to the Ollama server, and create it. This can cause the server to allocate unlimited memory, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

A vulnerability in ollama/ollama versions <=0.3.14 allows a malicious user to upload and create a customized GGUF model file on the Ollama server. This can lead to a division by zero error in the ggufPadding function, causing the server to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

A vulnerability in Ollama versions <=0.3.14 allows a malicious user to create a customized gguf model file that can be uploaded to the public Ollama server. When the server processes this malicious model, it crashes, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The root cause of the issue is an out-of-bounds read in the gguf.go file.

An issue was discovered in Ollama through 0.3.14. File existence disclosure can occur via api/create. When calling the CreateModel route with a path parameter that does not exist, it reflects the "File does not exist" error message to the attacker, providing a primitive for file existence on the server.

An issue was discovered in Ollama before 0.1.46. An attacker can use two HTTP requests to upload a malformed GGUF file containing just 4 bytes starting with the GGUF custom magic header. By leveraging a custom Modelfile that includes a FROM statement pointing to the attacker-controlled blob file, the attacker can crash the application through the CreateModel route, leading to a segmentation fault (signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation).

An issue was discovered in Ollama before 0.1.34. The CreateModelHandler function uses os.Open to read a file until completion. The req.Path parameter is user-controlled and can be set to /dev/random, which is blocking, causing the goroutine to run infinitely (even after the HTTP request is aborted by the client).
