AnalysisAI
Memory corruption in NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM allows an attacker with local access to trigger a write-what-where primitive (CWE-123), enabling arbitrary memory writes that can corrupt data, crash the inference service, or leak sensitive information. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.4 (High) score with a local attack vector and high attack complexity, and affects the TensorRT-LLM library used to build and serve optimized large-language-model inference on NVIDIA GPUs. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
TensorRT-LLM is NVIDIA's open-source library for compiling and serving large language models with optimized inference kernels on NVIDIA GPUs, typically integrated into Python/C++ serving stacks and Triton-based deployment pipelines. The root cause is CWE-123 (Write-What-Where Condition): the code allows an attacker to control both the destination address and the value written to memory, usually stemming from unvalidated indices, offsets, sizes, or deserialized inputs feeding into a pointer or buffer write. Such a primitive is powerful because it can be used to overwrite function pointers, control structures, or adjacent data. The single CPE (cpe:2.3:a:nvidia:tensorrt-llm) confirms only the TensorRT-LLM application is implicated, with no version boundary published in the provided data.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis in the provided data - check NVIDIA's official security bulletin for TensorRT-LLM and upgrade to the fixed release once published (the CVE was reported by NVIDIA, so a vendor advisory is expected). Until a patched version is confirmed, apply compensating controls: restrict local and process-level access to hosts running TensorRT-LLM so only trusted operators can reach the inference process (reduces the AV:L exposure, at the cost of tighter operational access); treat model artifacts, tokenizer files, and inference inputs as untrusted and validate or sandbox them, since a write-what-where is often driven by crafted input or serialized data (trade-off: added validation/latency in the serving path); run the inference service under a least-privilege, isolated account or container to limit the blast radius of a successful memory write; and monitor for crashes or abnormal restarts of the serving process as a DoS indicator. Reference the NVD/CVE.org records above and NVIDIA's advisory for the authoritative fix version.
