A vulnerability in Ollama versions <=0.3.14 allows a malicious user to create a customized gguf model file that can be uploaded to the public Ollama server. When the server processes this malicious model, it crashes, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The root cause of the issue is an out-of-bounds read in the gguf.go file.
