CVE-2022-29209: Type confusion leading to `CHECK`-failure based denial of service in TensorFlow

Published May 20, 2022
·
Updated

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. Prior to versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4, the macros that TensorFlow uses for writing assertions (e.g., CHECKLT, CHECKGT, etc.) have an incorrect logic when comparing sizet and int values. Due to type conversion rules, several of the macros would trigger incorrectly. Versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4 contain a patch for this issue.
