Overview

vllm is an A high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the lack of upper bound validation on the n parameter in the request handling process. An attacker can cause the server to exhaust system memory and become unresponsive by sending a single HTTP request with an extremely large n value, resulting in the allocation of millions of request object copies and monopolizing the event loop.
