## Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) exists in the DALI (Data Loading Library) backend of the NVIDIA Triton Inference Server. The flaw is triggered when the component reads data past the end of the intended buffer. An attacker with low-level privileges can exploit this over a network, though it requires some level of user interaction. Successful exploitation can result in sensitive information disclosure, memory corruption leading to arbitrary code execution, or a denial of service (DoS) condition. Users are advised to refer to NVIDIA advisory 5828 for specific patching instructions.
