Title
NULL Pointer Dereference in ollama/ollama
Summary
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.
