Summary

whisper.cpp versions from 1.9.0 before 1.9.5 are affected. The whisper_model_load function in the model loader mishandles the ttype argument, which causes an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125). A local attacker with low privileges can trigger the flaw, and a public exploit exists.

Description from the CNA

A vulnerability was detected in ggml-org whisper.cpp up to 1.9.4. This affects the function whisper_model_load of the file src/whisper.cpp of the component Model Loader. Performing a manipulation of the argument ttype results in out-of-bounds read. The attack must be initiated from a local position. The exploit is now public and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.9.5 is able to mitigate this issue. The patch is named 60c0be6ac8fa71b1a2ae2dd938a31a34a508e774. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.
