CVE-2022-29213: Incomplete validation in signal ops leads to crashes in TensorFlow

Published May 20, 2022
·
Updated

Impact The tf.compat.v1.signal.rfft2d and tf.compat.v1.signal.rfft3d lack input validation and under certain condition can result in crashes (due to CHECK-failures).

Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 0a8a781e597b18ead006d19b7d23d0a369e9ad73 (merging GitHub PR #55274).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.9.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.8.1, TensorFlow 2.7.2, and TensorFlow 2.6.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
