GitHub Security Advisory

Crash due to erroneous `StatusOr` in TensorFlow

✓ GitHub Reviewed MODERATE Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Impact
A `GraphDef` from a TensorFlow `SavedModel` can be maliciously altered to cause a TensorFlow process to crash due to encountering [a `StatusOr` value that is an error and forcibly extracting the value from it](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/274df9b02330b790aa8de1cee164b70f72b9b244/tensorflow/core/graph/graph.cc#L560-L567):

```cc
if (op_reg_data->type_ctor != nullptr) {
VLOG(3) << "AddNode: found type constructor for " << node_def.name();
const auto ctor_type =
full_type::SpecializeType(AttrSlice(node_def), op_reg_data->op_def);
const FullTypeDef ctor_typedef = ctor_type.ValueOrDie();
if (ctor_typedef.type_id() != TFT_UNSET) {
*(node_def.mutable_experimental_type()) = ctor_typedef;
}
}
```

If `ctor_type` is an error status, `ValueOrDie` results in a crash.

### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [955059813cc325dc1db5e2daa6221271406d4439](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/955059813cc325dc1db5e2daa6221271406d4439).

We have patched the issue in multiple GitHub commits and these will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0 and TensorFlow 2.7.1, as both are affected.
