CVE-2022-29196

Missing validation causes denial of service in TensorFlow via `Conv3DBackpropFilterV2`

5.5 MediumFix available

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. Prior to versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4, the implementation of tf.raw_ops.Conv3DBackpropFilterV2 does not fully validate the input arguments. This results in a CHECK-failure which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack. The code does not validate that the filter_sizes argument is a vector. Versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4 contain a patch for this issue.

Missing validation causes denial of service via `Conv3DBackpropFilterV2`

Impact

The implementation of tf.raw_ops.Conv3DBackpropFilterV2 does not fully validate the input arguments. This results in a CHECK-failure which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack:

import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.Conv3DBackpropFilterV2(
  input=tf.constant(.5053710941, shape=[2,2,2,2,1], dtype=tf.float16),
  filter_sizes=tf.constant(0, shape=[], dtype=tf.int32),
  out_backprop=tf.constant(.5053710941, shape=[2,2,2,2,1], dtype=tf.float16),
  strides=[1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
  padding="VALID",
  data_format="NDHWC",
  dilations=[1, 1, 1, 1, 1])

The code does not validate that the filter_sizes argument is a vector.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 174c5096f303d5be7ed2ca2662b08371bff4ab88.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.9.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.8.1, TensorFlow 2.7.2, and TensorFlow 2.6.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
