Summary

vLLM versions from 0.23.0rc2 before 0.30.0 are affected. The GLMGA video backend builds and deduplicates a frame-index list sized by request-level fps and max_frames values, with no strict work ceiling (CWE-400). A remote caller without privileges can send a compact request with a tiny valid video to consume excessive CPU and memory in the shared media-loading executor, which degrades availability.

Description from the CNA

vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models. Prior to 0.30.0, a caller can use the request-level media_io_kwargs field to select the GLMGA video backend and supply large values for the fps and max_frames options without a strict work ceiling. GLMGA constructs and deduplicates an attacker-sized pre-decode frame-index list, allowing a compact request and tiny valid video to consume disproportionate CPU time and memory in the shared media-loading executor. This issue is fixed in version 0.30.0.
