CVE-2026-54235: vLLM: temperature=NaN and temperature=Infinity bypass validation and propagate to GPU kernels
All temperature validation gates use comparison operators (<, >), which silently evaluate to False for NaN and for positive Infinity in Python’s IEEE 754 float semantics. Both values pass every guard and propagate to GPU sampling kernels, where they produce undefined behavior or CUDA errors that can crash the inference worker. Note: -Infinity is correctly caught.
