## Technical details

NVIDIA Triton Inference Server for Linux is vulnerable to a memory leak (CWE-401). The flaw occurs when the application fails to release memory after its effective lifetime, which can be triggered by a remote, unauthenticated attacker over the network. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to exhaust system memory resources, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) state. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 26.04.

## Affected products

- NVIDIA Triton Inference Server <= 26.04
