Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write via the Triton _bincount_kernel, where prompt token IDs index the penalty prompt-presence bitset without bounds checking against the vocabulary size. An attacker can submit multimodal audio requests containing tokens equal to the vocabulary size, triggering out-of-bounds writes that corrupt concurrent requests' sampler state and alter repetition penalty behavior.
