Published Feb 4, 2022
·
Updated

Impact An attacker can trigger denial of service via assertion failure by altering a SavedModel on disk such that AttrDefs of some operation are duplicated.

Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit c2b31ff2d3151acb230edc3f5b1832d2c713a9e0.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
