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 the compute_frames_index_to_sample method in vllm/multimodal/video.py, where the fps and max_frames video sampling parameters for the Qwen2-VL and Qwen3-VL backends are accepted from user-supplied request data without any upper bound. An unauthenticated remote attacker can submit a request with an arbitrarily large fps or max_frames value, causing the server to allocate and process an unbounded number of video frames and crash the process.
