CVE-2026-53923: vLLM GGUF Dequantization Kernel Information Disclosure
Attack on AI2 Disclosed vulnerabilityInfrastructure vulnerability
Integer truncation in vLLM GGUF dequantization kernels leads to partial tensor processing and uninitialized GPU memory exposure. This flaw can result in cross-tenant information disclosure in shared inference environments.
disclosed CVENo confirmed exploitation, so this record is tracked as a disclosed vulnerability and not counted as an incident. It moves into the counts if CISA or the vendor confirms exploitation. Why
