GHSA-cqm8-jxg6-fqfq: vllm (CVE-2026-78684)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
vllm	PyPI	<0.27.0	0.27.0

Machine-written summary

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

vLLM versions before 0.27.0 are affected. The DeepStream GPU backend is not properly classified, and pixel-limit enforcement is missing from its decode path. An unauthenticated attacker can activate DeepStream at request time and submit video that bypasses resource controls, causing partial denial of service for concurrent requests. Upgrade to vLLM 0.27.0 or later, which contains the fix.
