Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

vLLM versions from 0.20.0 before 0.30.0 are affected by a denial of service flaw in the disaggregated /inference/v1/generate endpoint. A remote attacker can send inconsistent multimodal metadata, such as repeated or overlapping placeholder ranges or mismatched kwargs and hash lists, which produces a negative text span in Qwen2.5-VL position construction and crashes the engine. Upgrade vLLM to version 0.30.0 or later.
