CVE-2026-94624 PUBLISHED

vLLM through 0.29.0 Denial of Service via Unbounded P2P KV Offloading Sessions

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 21.09.2026 Published: 21.09.2026 Updated: 22.09.2026

vLLM through 0.29.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability in P2P KV offloading when OffloadingConnector is configured with TieringOffloadingSpec and a peer-to-peer secondary tier. Attackers can supply arbitrary remote host and port values in kv_transfer_params to create unreachable peer sessions that retain ZeroMQ sockets until the context quota is exhausted, causing an uncaught ZMQError that crashes EngineCore and stops all inference.
