PoC: GGUF Alignment Integer Overflow (V-01)
CWE-190 / CWE-125

This demonstrates that the GGUF `general.alignment` field lacks
an upper bound in llama.cpp's C++ parser (ggml/src/gguf.cpp:610-616).

Only power-of-2 and non-zero are validated. Values like 0x80000000
pass validation, causing GGML_PAD overflow and incorrect file seeks.

Affected: ALL llama.cpp versions
Status: UNPATCHED (disclosed on oss-security 2026-05-15, no fix as of 2026-06-01)
