DescriptionCVE.org

vLLM before 0.27.0 fails to properly classify DeepStream as a GPU backend and omits pixel-limit enforcement in its decode path. Unauthenticated attackers can activate DeepStream at request time to initialize the process-wide GPU decode pool and submit video that bypasses resource controls, causing partial denial of service for concurrent requests.

AnalysisAI

Remote denial-of-service in vLLM before 0.27.0 allows unauthenticated network attackers to activate the DeepStream GPU video-decode backend per-request, initialize the process-wide GPU decode pool, and submit video content that bypasses pixel-limit enforcement, causing partial availability loss for concurrent inference requests. The root cause is vLLM's failure to classify DeepStream as a GPU backend subject to resource controls combined with an omitted pixel-limit check in the DeepStream decode path (CWE-400). …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Send crafted API request selecting DeepStream backend
Delivery
Initialize process-wide GPU decode pool
Exploit
Submit pixel-limit-bypassing video payload
Execution
Saturate shared decode pool with concurrent requests
Impact
Degrade availability for legitimate inference workloads

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the vllm[deepstream] optional dependency (nvidia-deepstream-videodecode-cu13) to be explicitly installed on the server - it is not part of any default vLLM installation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VA:L reflects a low-complexity, unauthenticated network attack with partial availability impact only. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with unauthenticated network access to a vLLM API endpoint where the deepstream optional dependency is installed submits a crafted multimodal inference request specifying the DeepStream backend via the media-io-kwargs parameter, triggering lazy initialization of the process-wide GPU decode pool and submitting oversized or resource-intensive video content that bypasses pixel-limit controls. By issuing concurrent requests of this type, the attacker saturates the shared singleton decode pool, causing partial availability degradation for legitimate concurrent inference requests. …
Remediation Upgrade to vLLM 0.27.0 or later, which adds pixel-limit enforcement to the DeepStream decode path and correctly registers DeepStream as a GPU backend subject to resource controls; the upstream fix is at commit e23b19309b8705b21c3b3ff4129c9974ba15a419 (https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/commit/e23b19309b8705b21c3b3ff4129c9974ba15a419). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
