Description

Impact

The implementation of tf.raw_ops.MaxPoolGradWithArgmax is vulnerable to a division by 0:

import tensorflow as tf

input = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0, 0, 0], dtype=tf.float32)
grad = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0, 0, 0], dtype=tf.float32)
argmax = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.int64)
ksize = [1, 1, 1, 1]
strides = [1, 1, 1, 1]

tf.raw_ops.MaxPoolGradWithArgmax(
  input=input, grad=grad, argmax=argmax, ksize=ksize, strides=strides,
  padding='SAME', include_batch_in_index=False)

The implementation fails to validate that the batch dimension of the tensor is non-zero, before dividing by this quantity.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 376c352a37ce5a68b721406dc7e77ac4b6cf483d.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
