NVD description

vLLM from 0.19.0 before 0.24.0 contains a decompression bomb vulnerability because the AudioMediaIO multimodal path calls load_audio without the max_duration_s decoded-duration limit. Authenticated attackers can send small compressed audio via input_audio or audio_url in /v1/chat/completions requests that expands to huge decoded PCM, exhausting server memory.

What to do

  • Upgrade vLLM to 0.24.0 or later.
  • Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
