Ollama < 0.1.34 Improper Input Validation

high Nessus Plugin ID 200185

Language:

Synopsis

The Ollama instance installed on the remote host is affected by an improper input validation vulnerability.

Description

The version of Ollama installed on the remote host is prior to 0.1.34. It is, therefore, affected by an improper input validation vulnerability. Ollama before 0.1.34 does not validate the format of the digest (sha256 with 64 hex digits) when getting the model path, and thus mishandles the TestGetBlobsPath test cases such as fewer than 64 hex digits, more than 64 hex digits, or an initial ../ substring.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Ollama version 0.1.34 or later.
