GitHub Security Advisory

Out of bounds read in Tensorflow

✓ GitHub Reviewed HIGH Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Impact
TensorFlow's [type inference](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/274df9b02330b790aa8de1cee164b70f72b9b244/tensorflow/core/graph/graph.cc#L223-L229) can cause a heap OOB read as the bounds checking is done in a `DCHECK` (which is a no-op during production):

```cc
if (node_t.type_id() != TFT_UNSET) {
int ix = input_idx[i];
DCHECK(ix < node_t.args_size())
<< "input " << i << " should have an output " << ix
<< " but instead only has " << node_t.args_size()
<< " outputs: " << node_t.DebugString();
input_types.emplace_back(node_t.args(ix));
// ...
}
```

An attacker can control `input_idx` such that `ix` would be larger than the number of values in `node_t.args`.

### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [c99d98cd189839dcf51aee94e7437b54b31f8abd](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/c99d98cd189839dcf51aee94e7437b54b31f8abd).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. This is the only affected version.
