High CVSS 7.8

CVE-2026-43627

NVD analysis in progress

llama.cpp builds b1283 through b9058 contain an integer overflow vulnerability in the llama_batch_init() function where unchecked multiplications in malloc() calls can wrap past INT32_MAX when computing allocation sizes. Attackers can pass specially crafted parameters to trigger integer overflow, causing heap corruption and potentially achieving arbitrary code execution through subsequent batch operations that write past allocated buffer boundaries.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable with local access to the machine and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
A computation exceeds the integer type’s range, producing a nonsensical size and a broken allocation.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
