The API used for LLM-based sentence or chat completion accepts a best_of parameter to return the best completion from several options. When this parameter is set to a large value, the API does not handle timeouts or resource exhaustion properly, allowing an attacker to cause a DoS by consuming excessive system resources. This leads to the API becoming unresponsive, preventing legitimate users from accessing the service.\n\ud83d\udccf Published: 2024-09-17T16:21:15.222Z\n\ud83d\udccf Modified: 2025-01-14T08:28:57.142Z\n\ud83d\udd17 References:\n1. https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-8939\n2. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2312782", "creation_timestamp": "2025-01-14T09:10:38.000000Z"}
