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 via unbounded P2P KV offloading sessions in OffloadingConnector. Attackers can supply arbitrary remote host and port values in kv_transfer_params to create unreachable peer sessions that retain ZeroMQ sockets until the context quota is exhausted, causing an uncaught ZMQError that crashes EngineCore and stops all inference.

Note: This is only exploitable when OffloadingConnector is configured with TieringOffloadingSpec and a peer-to-peer secondary tier.
