Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
vllm before 0.28.0 lets a request select the PyNvVideoCodec GPU video decoder without memory reserved for it at startup. An attacker who can send video requests where PyNvVideoCodec is installed can exhaust GPU memory, causing denial of service. Upgrade to vllm 0.28.0 or later.
