security(gguf): add ParseLimits budgets and checked host-size conversions - #76
Conversation
…ions Fail closed on untrusted GGUF headers before allocation or loops proportional to declared counts. Typed LimitExceeded and HostSizeOverflow errors name the budget or field. Default and mmap readers share the same policy; trusted callers can override without changing defaults. Linear: RM-1358 Co-authored-by: Raul Cardenas Montoya <montoyaraul34@gmail.com>

This is a comprehensive security enhancement that properly addresses resource exhaustion and integer overflow risks when parsing untrusted GGUF files. The implementation follows security best practices with fail-closed design, checked arithmetic throughout, and excellent test coverage. No blocking issues found.
Key strengths:
- Proper use of
checked_add/checked_multo prevent integer overflows - Type-safe conversions with
try_frominstead of lossy casts - Limits checked before allocation/iteration
- Comprehensive error types with specific field names
- Thorough test coverage including boundary conditions
The code is production-ready and properly implements defense-in-depth for untrusted input handling.

Keep ParseLimits error variants together with the RM-1360 shard-index errors so the branch compiles against current main. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Relative offset 0 is the GGUF data-section start. Checked addition cannot place a tensor in the header, and overlapping offsets still stay there. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Inline comments:
In `@src/gguf/layout.rs`:
- Around line 257-262: Validate the bounded tensor_count against the remaining
input bytes before the tensor-directory allocation, rejecting values greater
than remaining_bytes divided by the 24-byte minimum entry size. Apply this in
the flow leading to the HashMap::with_capacity call while preserving normal
parsing for valid counts; alternatively avoid attacker-sized preallocation.
In `@src/gguf/map.rs`:
- Around line 90-93: Remove the load_gguf_mmap_with_limits API and all related
module/crate re-exports, README references, and CHANGELOG entries. Preserve
load_gguf_mmap by keeping its parsing implementation directly in that loader
rather than delegating to the removed function, and eliminate all remaining mmap
support required by the repository contract.
