Description

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.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Vulnerability
  1. Detect

    Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`). Because exploitation targets the running service rather than your application code, O3 also flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic.

  2. Remediation status

    No fixed release is recorded for CVE-2026-94624 yet. Track the upstream advisory, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    Reduce reachability while you patch: restrict network access to the service to trusted sources, disable or gate the affected component where your deployment allows it, and add a WAF/IPS signature if one exists for CVE-2026-94624. O3's runtime protection blocks the cwe-770 flaw at execution, which holds the line on hosts you cannot patch immediately.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 detects and blocks CVE-2026-94624 exploitation at runtime with eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches a post-exploitation callback and cuts the attacker's outbound channel.

Tailored to CVE-2026-94624. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
