Description
InternLM LMDeploy through 0.17.0 contains a reachable assertion vulnerability in the DistServe decode migration loop that allows unauthenticated attackers to terminate the inference engine. Attackers can submit a migration_request with an empty remote_block_ids list to trigger an AssertionError that crashes the engine loop and causes subsequent inference requests to fail.
