CVE-2018-7575: Integer Overflow

Published Apr 24, 2019
·
Updated

Issue Description Google TensorFlow 1.7.x and earlier is affected by a Buffer Overflow vulnerability. The type of exploitation is context-dependent. The block size in meta file might contain a large int64 value which causes an integer overflow upon addition. Subsequent code using n as index may cause an out-of-bounds read.

Impact A maliciously crafted meta checkpoint could be used to cause the TensorFlow process to perform an out of bounds read on in process memory.
