Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-190

Allowed

Integer Overflow or Wraparound

Abstraction: Base · Status: Stable

The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.

4393 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Details

An integer overflow and buffer overflow issues were found in the ACPI Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) device of QEMU in the read_erst_record() and write_erst_record() functions. Both issues may allow the guest to overrun the host buffer allocated for the ERST memory device. A malicious guest could use these flaws to crash the QEMU process on the host.

Summary
vLLM: Cross-User Data Leak Vulnerability
Details

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.

Mitigation
Requirements

Ensure that all protocols are strictly defined, such that all out-of-bounds behavior can be identified simply, and require strict conformance to the protocol.

Mitigation MIT-3
Requirements

Strategy: Language Selection

  • Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • If possible, choose a language or compiler that performs automatic bounds checking.
Mitigation MIT-4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid [REF-1482].
  • Use libraries or frameworks that make it easier to handle numbers without unexpected consequences.
  • Examples include safe integer handling packages such as SafeInt (C++) or IntegerLib (C or C++). [REF-106]
Mitigation MIT-8
Implementation

Strategy: Input Validation

  • Perform input validation on any numeric input by ensuring that it is within the expected range. Enforce that the input meets both the minimum and maximum requirements for the expected range.
  • Use unsigned integers where possible. This makes it easier to perform validation for integer overflows. When signed integers are required, ensure that the range check includes minimum values as well as maximum values.
Mitigation MIT-36
Implementation
  • Understand the programming language's underlying representation and how it interacts with numeric calculation (CWE-681). Pay close attention to byte size discrepancies, precision, signed/unsigned distinctions, truncation, conversion and casting between types, "not-a-number" calculations, and how the language handles numbers that are too large or too small for its underlying representation. [REF-7]
  • Also be careful to account for 32-bit, 64-bit, and other potential differences that may affect the numeric representation.
Mitigation MIT-15
Architecture and Design

For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.

Mitigation MIT-26
Implementation

Strategy: Compilation or Build Hardening

Examine compiler warnings closely and eliminate problems with potential security implications, such as signed / unsigned mismatch in memory operations, or use of uninitialized variables. Even if the weakness is rarely exploitable, a single failure may lead to the compromise of the entire system.

CAPEC-92: Forced Integer Overflow

This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.
