Heap buffer overflow due to invalid splits in RaggedCountSparseOutput

Moderate
mihaimaruseac published GHSA-p5f8-gfw5-33w4 Sep 24, 2020

Package

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

Affected versions

2.3.0

Patched versions

2.3.1

Description

Impact

The RaggedCountSparseOutput implementation does not validate that the input arguments form a valid ragged tensor. In particular, there is no validation that the values in the splits tensor generate a valid partitioning of the values tensor. Hence, this code is prone to heap buffer overflow:

for (int idx = 0; idx < num_values; ++idx) {
while (idx >= splits_values(batch_idx)) {
batch_idx++;
}

If split_values does not end with a value at least num_values then the while loop condition will trigger a read outside of the bounds of split_values once batch_idx grows too large.

Patches

We have patched the issue in 3cbb917 and will release a patch release.

We recommend users to upgrade to TensorFlow 2.3.1.
