Severity ?
7.5 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs). From 0.1.0 to before 0.10.1.1, a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability can be triggered by sending a single HTTP GET request with an extremely large header to an HTTP endpoint. This results in server memory exhaustion, potentially leading to a crash or unresponsiveness. The attack does not require authentication, making it exploitable by any remote user. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.10.1.1.

Desde la versi\u00f3n 0.1.0 hasta versiones anteriores a la 0.10.1.1, se pod\u00eda activar una vulnerabilidad de denegaci\u00f3n de servicio (DoS) al enviar una sola solicitud HTTP GET con un encabezado extremadamente grande a un endpoint HTTP. Esto provocaba el agotamiento de la memoria del servidor, lo que podr\u00eda provocar un bloqueo o la falta de respuesta. El ataque no requiere autenticaci\u00f3n, por lo que cualquier usuario remoto puede explotarlo. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrigi\u00f3 en la versi\u00f3n 0.10.1.1."
