CVE-2024-0116
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedNVIDIA Triton Inference Server contains a vulnerability where a user may cause an out-of-bounds read issue by releasing a shared memory region while it is in use. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceNVIDIA Triton Inference Server has a race condition vulnerability in shared memory management where a user can release a shared memory region while it's still in use, causing an out-of-bounds read. This use-after-free pattern in shared memory handling leads to denial of service.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Triton Inference Server installationRun 'triton-server --version' or check installed packages with 'pip show triton-inference-server' or 'dpkg -l | grep triton'Affected if Triton Inference Server is installed and responds to version query
-
Confirm installed version against affected rangeCompare the returned version number to the affected range: >= 19.11 and < 24.09Affected if The installed version falls within 19.11 to 24.08 inclusive (any version >= 19.11 but earlier than 24.09)
-
Verify shared memory is in useCheck for active shared memory segments with 'ipcs -m' or examine Triton configuration files for shared memory settingsAffected if Shared memory regions are allocated or configured for Triton Inference Server
-
Confirm Triton service is runningCheck running processes with 'ps aux | grep triton' or 'systemctl status triton-server'Affected if The Triton Inference Server process is actively running and handling inference requests
You are affected if Triton Inference Server version is between 19.11 and 24.08 inclusive and the server is actively running with shared memory in use.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped24.09
Implement proper reference counting or locking around shared memory lifecycle management to prevent premature release. Ensure all ongoing operations complete before shared memory cleanup.
24.09
- Upgrade NVIDIA Triton Inference Server to version 24.09 or later to resolve the out-of-bounds read vulnerability in shared memory handling
