Sources and claim methodology

Upstream source description

vLLM before 0.29.0 contains a resource-limit bypass vulnerability in PyNvVideoCodec decoder allocation where sampler subclass shadowing allows independent counter increments. Unauthenticated attackers can select different sampler subclasses in video requests to exceed configured decoder limits and exhaust unaccounted GPU memory.
