Lifecycle Timeline

Improper input validation for some vLLM Hardware Plugin for Intel(R) Gaudi(R) software before version 0.16.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Authorized adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
AnalysisAI
Improper input validation in the vLLM Hardware Plugin for Intel Gaudi software (versions before 0.16.0) allows a locally authenticated user to cause a denial of service, crashing or degrading availability of the affected system. The vulnerability operates within Ring 3 (user application space) and requires only low-privilege local access with no user interaction, making it viable for insider threat or compromised-account scenarios. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at the time of analysis; Intel has released a fix in version 0.16.0.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the vLLM Hardware Plugin for Intel Gaudi, an AI accelerator hardware interface plugin that enables vLLM - an open-source large language model serving framework - to offload inference workloads to Intel Gaudi (HPU) hardware accelerators. The flaw is classified under CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), meaning the plugin fails to adequately sanitize or bound-check inputs received from user-space applications operating in Ring 3 (the least-privileged CPU protection ring). Exploitation in Ring 3 implies no kernel-level privilege escalation is involved; the impact is constrained to the availability of the plugin or the inference service it supports. The CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:vllm_hardware_plugin_for_intel(r)_gaudi(r)_software) indicates this is a standalone software component, and the 'n/a' vendor field in NVD reflects that no distinct vendor entity was mapped outside of Intel.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the vLLM Hardware Plugin for Intel(R) Gaudi(R) software to version 0.16.0 or later, as confirmed by Intel's security advisory INTEL-SA-01487 (https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01487.html). If immediate patching is not possible, restrict local system access to only trusted, authorized users and enforce the principle of least privilege on accounts that interact with the Gaudi plugin. Additionally, consider isolating the inference workload environment from general-purpose multi-user access to reduce the attack surface. These compensating controls narrow the pool of potential authenticated local attackers but do not eliminate the underlying input validation flaw.
