CVE-2022-23559

Integer overflow in TFLite

8.8 HighFix available

Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. An attacker can craft a TFLite model that would cause an integer overflow in embedding lookup operations. Both embedding_size and lookup_size are products of values provided by the user. Hence, a malicious user could trigger overflows in the multiplication. In certain scenarios, this can then result in heap OOB read/write. Users are advised to upgrade to a patched version.

Integer overflow in TFLite

Impact

An attacker can craft a TFLite model that would cause an integer overflow in embedding lookup operations:

  int embedding_size = 1;
  int lookup_size = 1;
  for (int i = 0; i < lookup_rank - 1; i++, k++) {
    const int dim = dense_shape->data.i32[i];
    lookup_size *= dim;
    output_shape->data[k] = dim;
  }
  for (int i = 1; i < embedding_rank; i++, k++) {
    const int dim = SizeOfDimension(value, i);
    embedding_size *= dim;
    output_shape->data[k] = dim;
  } 

Both embedding_size and lookup_size are products of values provided by the user. Hence, a malicious user could trigger overflows in the multiplication.

In certain scenarios, this can then result in heap OOB read/write.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commits f19be71717c497723ba0cea0379e84f061a75e01, 1de49725a5fc4e48f1a3b902ec3599ee99283043 and a4e401da71458d253b05e41f28637b65baf64be4.

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.
