Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input due to improper validation of the temperature parameter while sampling. An attacker can cause the inference worker to crash or exhibit undefined behavior by supplying non-finite float values such as NaN or Infinity, which bypass validation and propagate to GPU kernels.
