NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3.10-vllm-cuda-12.6 package and not the py3.10-vllm-cuda-12.6 package as distributed by Chainguard.

vLLM, an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs), has a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability in the file vllm/entrypoints/openai/tool_parsers/pythonic_tool_parser.py of versions 0.6.4 up to but excluding 0.9.0. The root cause is the use of a highly complex and nested regular expression for tool call detection, which can be exploited by an attacker to cause severe performance degradation or make the service unavailable. The pattern contains multiple nested quantifiers, optional groups, and inner repetitions which make it vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking. Version 0.9.0 contains a patch for the issue.
