CVE-2025-62164

Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat AI Inference Server 3.2.2 (CUDA)

Description

A vulnerability in vLLM allows attackers to supply malicious serialized prompt-embedding tensors that are deserialized using torch.load() without validation. Due to PyTorch 2.8.0 disabling sparse-tensor integrity checks by default, a crafted tensor can bypass bounds checks and cause an out-of-bounds write during to_dense(), leading to a crash (DoS) and potentially remote code execution on the vLLM server.

Weakness classes (CWE)

  • CWE-20Class

    Improper Input Validation

    The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.

    cwe.mitre.org →
  • CWE-123Base

    Write-what-where Condition

    Any condition where the attacker has the ability to write an arbitrary value to an arbitrary location, often as the result of a buffer overflow.

    cwe.mitre.org →
  • CWE-502Base

    Deserialization of Untrusted Data

    The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

    cwe.mitre.org →
  • CWE-787Base

    Out-of-bounds Write

    The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
