vLLM up to and including 0.17.0 allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service via memory exhaustion. The AsyncMediaIO.fetch_audio and AsyncMediaIO.fetch_image functions in multimodal/inputs.py fetch user-supplied media URLs using aiohttp and call r.read() without enforcing a maximum response size, allowing an attacker to exhaust server memory by providing a URL to an arbitrarily large file.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
