GitHub Security Advisory
Segfault if `tf.histogram_fixed_width` is called with NaN values in TensorFlow
Advisory Details
### Impact
The implementation of [`tf.histogram_fixed_width`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f3b9bf4c3c0597563b289c0512e98d4ce81f886e/tensorflow/core/kernels/histogram_op.cc) is vulnerable to a crash when the values array contain `NaN` elements:
```python
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
tf.histogram_fixed_width(values=np.nan, value_range=[1,2])
```
The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f3b9bf4c3c0597563b289c0512e98d4ce81f886e/tensorflow/core/kernels/histogram_op.cc#L35-L74) assumes that all floating point operations are defined and then converts a floating point result to an integer index:
```cc
index_to_bin.device(d) =
((values.cwiseMax(value_range(0)) - values.constant(value_range(0)))
.template cast<double>() /
step)
.cwiseMin(nbins_minus_1)
.template cast<int32>();
```
If `values` contains `NaN` then the result of the division is still `NaN` and the cast to `int32` would result in a crash.
This only occurs on the CPU implementation.
### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [e57fd691c7b0fd00ea3bfe43444f30c1969748b5](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/e57fd691c7b0fd00ea3bfe43444f30c1969748b5).
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.9.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.8.1, TensorFlow 2.7.2, and TensorFlow 2.6.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
