vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models. Prior to 0.27.0, an integer overflow in blockIdx.x * 2 * d in activation_kernels.cu can cause act_and_mul_kernel to consume another batched user's input, allowing a request processed in the same inference batch to receive a partial or complete copy of another user's inference result. This issue is fixed in version 0.27.0.

- GHSA-7m6h-x95x-82q5vLLM: Cross-User Data Leak Vulnerability2026-09-08ghsa · osvUS
### Summary An integer overflow in the act_and_mul_kernel kernel can cause the output of one user request to be incorporated into the response of another request within the same inference batch. Under certain conditions, the last request in a batch can receive a partial or complete copy of the first user's inference result, resulting in cross-user data leakage. ### Details The root cause is an integer overflow in the expression blockIdx.x * 2 * d at https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/ff712f6447093d07747c88680b9d006b119f5890/csrc/activation_kernels.cu#L82. As a result, the computation for one user (User A) can incorrectly consume input data from another user (User B). In particular, when 2^32 is divisible by d, the overflow can cause User A's output to contain portions of User B's inference result. In some cases, User B's response may be copied entirely into User A's response. This constitutes a severe cross-user information disclosure vulnerability and is straightforward to trigger. ### PoC We reproduced the issue using meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct, for which d = 8192. Using the following configuration: Batch size: 17 Sequence length: 16384 The final response in the batch becomes an exact copy of the first response in the batch, demonstrating complete cross-user data leakage. ### Impact This vulnerability enables cross-user information disclosure. An attacker can intentionally craft requests that are processed within the same inference batch as a victim's request and cause the victim's inference output to be copied into the attacker's response. As a result, sensitive information contained in another user's model response may be exposed to an unauthorized party. ### Versions For versions prior and equal to 0.21.0, the bug is in csrc/activation_kernels.cu, and for versions later than 0.21.0, the bug is in csrc/libtorch_stable/activation_kernels.cu.
