CVE-2026-70640
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
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 at offset +0x30, causing llama_batch_allocr::clear() to dereference arbitrary memory and achieve remote code execution.

"value": "Las versiones b1886 a b7445 de llama.cpp contienen una vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación por condición de carrera en el envoltorio JNI de LLaMA-Android donde bench_1model() y free_1context() carecen de sincronización, permitiendo que el Hilo A opere sobre memoria liberada mientras el Hilo B libera concurrentemente el llama_context. Los atacantes pueden explotar esto realizando una pulverización de heap con datos controlados por el atacante que contengan una vtable falsa para secuestrar el puntero de vtable en el desplazamiento +0x30, haciendo que llama_batch_allocr::clear() desreferencie memoria arbitraria y logre la ejecución remota de código."
