Moderate
mihaimaruseac published GHSA-qj5r-f9mv-rffh Feb 2, 2022

Package

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

Affected versions

< 2.8.0

Patched versions

2.5.3, 2.6.3, 2.7.1

Description

Impact

Multiple operations in TensorFlow can be used to trigger a denial of service via CHECK-fails (i.e., assertion failures). This is similar to TFSA-2021-198 (CVE-2021-41197) and has similar fixes.

Patches

We have patched the reported issues in multiple GitHub commits. It is possible that other similar instances exist in TensorFlow, we will issue fixes as these are discovered.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
