CVE-2022-23595

Null pointer dereference in TensorFlow

5.3 MediumFix available

Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. When building an XLA compilation cache, if default settings are used, TensorFlow triggers a null pointer dereference. In the default scenario, all devices are allowed, so flr->config_proto is nullptr. 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.

Null pointer dereference in TensorFlow

Impact

When building an XLA compilation cache, if default settings are used, TensorFlow triggers a null pointer dereference:

  string allowed_gpus =
      flr->config_proto()->gpu_options().visible_device_list();

In the default scenario, all devices are allowed, so flr->config_proto is nullptr.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit e21af685e1828f7ca65038307df5cc06de4479e8. 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.
