CVE-2022-29197

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. Prior to versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4, the implementation of tf.raw_ops.UnsortedSegmentJoin does not fully validate the input arguments. This results in a CHECK-failure which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack. The code assumes num_segments is a scalar but there is no validation for this before accessing its value. Versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4 contain a patch for this issue.

CVE
#vulnerability#mac#dos#git

Package

pip tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (pip )

Affected versions

< 2.9.0

Patched versions

2.6.4, 2.7.2, 2.8.1, 2.9.0

Impact

The implementation of tf.raw_ops.UnsortedSegmentJoin does not fully validate the input arguments. This results in a CHECK-failure which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack:

import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.UnsortedSegmentJoin( inputs=tf.constant("this", shape=[12], dtype=tf.string), segment_ids=tf.constant(0, shape=[12], dtype=tf.int64), num_segments=tf.constant(0, shape=[12], dtype=tf.int64))

The code assumes num_segments is a scalar but there is no validation for this before accessing its value:

const Tensor& num_segments_tensor = context->input(2); OP_REQUIRES(context, num_segments_tensor.NumElements() != 0, errors::InvalidArgument(“Number of segments cannot be empty.”)); auto num_segments = num_segments_tensor.scalar<NUM_SEGMENTS_TYPE>()();

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 13d38a07ce9143e044aa737cfd7bb759d0e9b400.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.9.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.8.1, TensorFlow 2.7.2, and TensorFlow 2.6.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

### Impact The implementation of [`tf.raw_ops.UnsortedSegmentJoin`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f3b9bf4c3c0597563b289c0512e98d4ce81f886e/tensorflow/core/kernels/unsorted_segment_join_op.cc#L92-L95) does not fully validate the input arguments. This results in a `CHECK`-failure which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack: ```python import tensorflow as tf tf.raw_ops.UnsortedSegmentJoin( inputs=tf.constant("this", shape=[12], dtype=tf.string), segment_ids=tf.constant(0, shape=[12], dtype=tf.int64), num_segments=tf.constant(0, shape=[12], dtype=tf.int64)) ``` The code assumes `num_segments` is a scalar but there is no validation for this before accessing its value: ```cc const Tensor& num_segments_tensor = context->input(2); OP_REQUIRES(context, num_segments_tensor.NumElements() != 0, errors::InvalidArgument("Number of segments cannot be empty.")); auto num_segments = num_segments_tensor.scalar<NUM_SEGMENTS_TYPE>()(); ``` ### Patches...

CVE-2022-29207: Release TensorFlow 2.6.4 · tensorflow/tensorflow

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. Prior to versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4, multiple TensorFlow operations misbehave in eager mode when the resource handle provided to them is invalid. In graph mode, it would have been impossible to perform these API calls, but migration to TF 2.x eager mode opened up this vulnerability. If the resource handle is empty, then a reference is bound to a null pointer inside TensorFlow codebase (various codepaths). This is undefined behavior. Versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4 contain a patch for this issue.
