CVE-2026-24214

Vulnerability

Overview

CVE-2026-24214 is an integer overflow vulnerability in the DALI (Data Loading Library) backend of NVIDIA Triton Inference Server. The root cause is improper handling of integer arithmetic operations within the DALI component, which can lead to memory corruption when processing crafted inputs. [1]

Attack

Vector

An attacker with network access to the Triton Inference Server can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted inference requests to the DALI backend. No prior authentication is required, but the attacker must be able to interact with the server's API. The integer overflow occurs during the processing of malformed data, potentially corrupting heap metadata or adjacent memory regions. [1]

Impact

Successful exploitation enables an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the Triton process, tamper with model inference results, or cause a denial of service by crashing the server. This could compromise the integrity and availability of AI inference pipelines relying on NVIDIA Triton. [1]

Mitigation

NVIDIA has released security updates to address this vulnerability. Users should apply the latest patches and restrict network access to trusted clients. No workarounds are documented; upgrading to a fixed version is the recommended course of action. [1]
