Description Thibault Guittet 2026-07-27 17:11:38 UTC 
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

A vulnerability was found in ggml-org whisper.cpp 95ea8f9b. Affected is the function ggml_ftype_to_ggml_type of the file ggml/src/ggml.c. The manipulation of the argument ftype results in reachable assertion. The attack requires a local approach. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
