## Overview

Improper input validation for some vLLM Hardware Plugin for Intel(R) Gaudi(R) software before version 0.16.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Authorized adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

## Affected

- `vllm_hardware < 0.16.0`
- `vllm_hardware = 0.19.0`
- `vllm_hardware = 0.19.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `vllm_hardware 0.16.0`
