CVE-2026-27940 affects llama.cpp, a C/C++ inference implementation for multiple LLM models. Prior to commit b8146, the function gguf_init_from_file_impl() in gguf.cpp contains an integer overflow condition that results in an undersized heap allocation. A subsequent fread() then writes 528 or more bytes of attacker-controlled data beyond the allocated buffer boundary, causing a heap-based out-of-bounds write. The issue is described as a bypass of a similar flaw previously addressed as CVE-2025-53630, where the earlier fix did not cover all affected code paths. The vulnerability is fixed in b8146.
