Ollama < 0.3.13 RCE

critical Nessus Plugin ID 209520

Synopsis

The Ollama instance installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Ollama installed on the remote host is prior to 0.3.13. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. Ollama before 0.3.13 has a ZipSlip vulnerability that could allow an attacker to write arbitrary files to the file system. Therefore, an attacker can achieve remote code execution by creating /etc/ld.so.preload and vuln.so through a malicious zip file (application/zip).

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 0.3.13 or later.
