Upgrade vllm to version 0.28.0 or higher.
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 in the load_audio_pyav. An attacker can exhaust system memory by submitting a small, highly compressed video as multimodal input, which triggers excessive memory allocation during audio decoding.
Note: This is only exploitable if the NanoNemotronVL model is served with use_audio_in_video=True.
