Until a fix is available, avoid processing untrusted GGUF files or apply input validation to prevent integer overflow in tensor shape calculations.
Description
An integer overflow vulnerability exists in llama.cpp versions before b11301 in the function gguf_init_from_reader. This flaw allows attackers to bypass tensor element-count validation by providing shapes whose product overflows to zero. Crafted GGUF files with large tensor extents can cause overflow in ggml_nbytes() and strides calculations, leading to out-of-bounds memory access due to buffers sized from wrapped byte counts.
