CVE-2021-41207: Division by zero in `ParallelConcat`

Published Nov 5, 2021
·
Updated

Impact The implementation of ParallelConcat misses some input validation and can produce a division by 0:

python import tensorflow as tf

@tf.function def test(): y = tf.rawops.ParallelConcat(values=[['tf']],shape=0) return y

test()

Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit f2c3931113eaafe9ef558faaddd48e00a6606235.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit 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 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.
