Description

CVE-2026-108955 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the gguf_init_from_file function of the GGUF Parser component in Tiiny-AI PowerInfer. The flaw is caused by improper handling of the data_offset argument, leading to memory access beyond intended boundaries. Exploitation requires local access to the system. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, but no official patch has yet been released as the fix awaits acceptance. The product uses a rolling release model, so specific affected versions are not clearly defined.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability in Tiiny-AI PowerInfer affects the GGUF Parser's gguf_init_from_file function in the ggml.c file. Manipulation of the data_offset argument can trigger an out-of-bounds read, potentially exposing memory contents or causing application instability. Exploitation requires local privileges and no user interaction is needed. The issue has been publicly disclosed, and a fix has been proposed but not yet merged. Due to the rolling release model of the product, exact affected versions are not specified.

Potential Impact

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause an out-of-bounds read, which may lead to information disclosure or application crashes. The CVSS score of 4.8 (medium severity) reflects limited impact due to the requirement for local access and low complexity of attack. There is no indication of remote exploitation or privilege escalation from the provided data.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix has been released yet; the proposed fix is pending acceptance. Users should monitor the vendor's repository or advisory channels for the acceptance and deployment of the fix. Since the product uses a rolling release model, updating to the latest version after the fix is merged will likely remediate the issue. Until then, restrict local access to trusted users only.
