CVE-2026-94626 · vLLM through 0.29.0 Memory Exhaustion via Unvalidated NIXL tp_size
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
vLLM through 0.29.0 fails to validate the tp_size parameter in kv_transfer_params on OpenAI-compatible completion endpoints, allowing attackers to allocate unbounded memory. Attackers can supply arbitrary tp_size values in prefill/decode disaggregated deployments to exhaust memory and trigger kernel OOM-kill of the decode worker process.
