CVE-2022-35952: `CHECK` failures in `UnbatchGradOp` in TensorFlow

Published Sep 16, 2022
·
Updated

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. The UnbatchGradOp function takes an argument id that is assumed to be a scalar. A nonscalar id can trigger a CHECK failure and crash the program. It also requires its argument batchindex to contain three times the number of elements as indicated in its batchindex.dimsize(0). An incorrect batchindex can trigger a CHECK failure and crash the program. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 5f945fc6409a3c1e90d6970c9292f805f6e6ddf2. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
