Machine-written summary

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

vLLM versions from 0.22.0 before 0.24.0 are affected by a denial of service flaw in the Rust gRPC frontend, where logprob_token_ids limits can be bypassed. A remote attacker can send Generate or GenerateStream requests with output logprobs enabled and more than 128 candidate token IDs, which triggers a fatal sampler exception and terminates the EngineCore process. The source does not describe any authentication requirement. Upgrade vllm to version 0.24.0 or later.
