Never Stop Speaking: a Denial-of-Service Attack on End-to-End Speech Language Models

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 10405v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many studies have shown that specially crafted inputs can induce large language models (LLMs) to generate excessively long outputs, resulting in significant computational overhead and resource consumption.

`From Prompt to Perturbation': An Adaptive Framework for Voice-Based Jailbreaks on Audio LLMs

The paper introduces an adaptive jailbreak attack framework that evaluates both cascaded pipelines and end‑to‑end large audio‑language models (LALMs) under a unified setting. It employs a feedback‑guided mutation engine to automatically generate and refine jailbreak candidates across textual prompts and audio perturbations, thereby broadening attack diversity. Experiments on six audio‑based systems show that both paradigms remain highly vulnerable, with the framework achieving higher attack success rates than existing methods.

Spectral Masking and Interpolation Attack (SMIA): A Black-box Adversarial Attack against Voice Authentication and Anti-Spoofing Systems

The paper introduces the Spectral Masking and Interpolation Attack (SMIA), a black‑box adversarial technique that subtly alters inaudible frequency regions of AI‑generated audio to fool voice authentication systems and their countermeasures. Experiments show SMIA achieves at least 82% success against combined verification and countermeasure systems, 97.5% against standalone speaker verification, and 100% against countermeasures, revealing a critical security gap. The authors argue that current static defenses are inadequate and call for dynamic, context‑aware defenses that can adapt to evolving threats.

NonTextual Target Attack

arXiv:2510. 02999v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing gradient-based jailbreak attacks on Large Language Models (LLMs) typically optimize adversarial suffixes to align the LLM output with predefined target responses.
