Moderate
mihaimaruseac published GHSA-3mw4-6rj6-74g5 Feb 2, 2022

Package

pip tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (pip)

Affected versions

< 2.8.0

Patched versions

2.5.3, 2.6.3, 2.7.1

Description

Impact

The implementation of QuantizedMaxPool has an undefined behavior where user controlled inputs can trigger a reference binding to null pointer.

import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.QuantizedMaxPool(
    input = tf.constant([[[[4]]]], dtype=tf.quint8),
    min_input = [],
    max_input = [1],
    ksize = [1, 1, 1, 1],
    strides = [1, 1, 1, 1],
    padding = "SAME", name=None
)

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 53b0dd6dc5957652f35964af16b892ec9af4a559.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
