CVE-2024-12886

Summary

CVE-2024-12886 is an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) vulnerability affecting the `ollama` server version 0.3.14. Malicious API servers can exploit this issue by sending gzip bomb HTTP responses, causing the `ollama` server to crash due to excessive memory usage. The vulnerability lies in the `makeRequestWithRetry` and `getAuthorizationToken` functions, which use `io.ReadAll` to read the response body without proper size validation. This results in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition when the server is unable to handle the large response, leading to potential crashes and service disruptions.
