Title
SGLang through 0.5.21 Decompression Bomb DoS via NanoNemotronVLImageProcessor
Summary
SGLang through 0.5.21 contains a denial of service vulnerability that disables Pillow decompression bomb protection process-wide by setting Image.MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS to None in NanoNemotronVLImageProcessor. Remote attackers can submit small, highly compressed images with huge dimensions to the generic image loader, exhausting worker memory during decoding.
