CVE-2021-41206: Incomplete validation of shapes in multiple TF ops
First published: Fri Nov 05 2021(Updated: )
### Impact Several TensorFlow operations are missing validation for the shapes of the tensor arguments involved in the call. Depending on the API, this can result in undefined behavior and segfault or `CHECK`-fail related crashes but in some scenarios writes and reads from heap populated arrays are also possible. We have discovered these issues internally via tooling while working on improving/testing GPU op determinism. As such, we don't have reproducers and there will be multiple fixes for these issues. ### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commits [68422b215e618df5ad375bcdc6d2052e9fd3080a](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/68422b215e618df5ad375bcdc6d2052e9fd3080a), [4d74d8a00b07441cba090a02e0dd9ed385145bf4](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/4d74d8a00b07441cba090a02e0dd9ed385145bf4), [579261dcd446385831fe4f7457d802a59685121d](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/579261dcd446385831fe4f7457d802a59685121d), [da4aad5946be30e5f049920fa076e1f7ef021261](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/da4aad5946be30e5f049920fa076e1f7ef021261), [4dddb2fd0b01cdd196101afbba6518658a2c9e07](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/4dddb2fd0b01cdd196101afbba6518658a2c9e07), and [e7f497570abb6b4ae5af4970620cd880e4c0c904](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/e7f497570abb6b4ae5af4970620cd880e4c0c904). These fixes will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick these commits on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, 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.
