CVE-2026-54235
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs). Prior to 0.23.1rc0, ll temperature validation gates use comparison operators (<, >), which silently evaluate to False for NaN and for positive Infinity in Python's IEEE 754 float semantics. Both values pass every guard and propagate to GPU sampling kernels, where they produce undefined behavior or CUDA errors that can crash the inference worker. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.23.1rc0.

Antes de 0.23.1rc0, las compuertas de validación de temperatura de ll usan operadores de comparación (<, >), que se evalúan silenciosamente como Falso para NaN y para Infinito positivo en la semántica de punto flotante IEEE 754 de Python. Ambos valores pasan cada protección y se propagan a los kernels de muestreo de GPU, donde producen un comportamiento indefinido o errores de CUDA que pueden bloquear el trabajador de inferencia. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en 0.23.1rc0."
