Summary

vLLM 0.30.0 before 0.31.0 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability in OpenCVDynamicOpenPanguVideoBackend, which uses request-controlled num_frames without an effective ceiling. Unauthenticated attackers can send /v1/chat/completions or /tokenize requests selecting the openpangu video_backend with a huge num_frames, forcing np.linspace allocations and CPU work that OOM-kill the API server.

Inferred packages

No advisory lists a package for this vulnerability yet. The CVE names these as products and links their GitHub repository, and the package registry names the same repository, so they are probably the affected packages. Low confidence: the versions are the CVE’s own for the product, and a stack check reports the package as unchecked when there are none.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of vllm-project/vllm published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
