Walkthrough

load_safetensors now rejects tensor data ranges with a negative start offset. The existing checks for reversed ranges and incorrect byte lengths remain.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

  • qdrant/fastembed#853: Adds offset validation in the same load_safetensors code path, which this change extends.

Suggested reviewers: ramzi0to99

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to a698d

The validation fix is mergeable, with a focused regression test recommended to prevent removal of the new protection.

Add a regression test for negative data_offsets starts.

The existing helper always writes non-negative offsets, and no current test asserts rejection of a negative start. Without the new guard, the current suite would not detect its removal.

Suggested fix
+def test_load_safetensors_rejects_negative_data_offset_start(tmp_path) -> None:
+    path = tmp_path / "model.safetensors"
+    header = {
+        "tensor": {
+            "dtype": "F32",
+            "shape": [1],
+            "data_offsets": [-4, 0],
+        }
+    }
+    encoded = json.dumps(header).encode()
+    path.write_bytes(len(encoded).to_bytes(8, "little") + encoded + b"\0" * 4)
+
+    with pytest.raises(ValueError, match="Invalid safetensors data offsets"):
+        load_safetensors(path)
