Description

Impact

The implementation of MapStage is vulnerable a CHECK-fail if the key tensor is not a scalar:

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np

tf.raw_ops.MapStage(
    key = tf.constant(value=[4], shape= (1,2), dtype=tf.int64),
    indices = np.array([[6]]),
    values = np.array([-60]),
    dtypes = [tf.int64], capacity=0, memory_limit=0,
    container='', shared_name='', name=None
)   

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit f57315566d7094f322b784947093406c2aea0d7d.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, 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.

Weakness

CWE-617: Reachable Assertion

The product contains an assert() or similar statement that can be triggered by an attacker, which leads to an application exit or other behavior that is more severe than necessary.

How to prevent it
  • Implementation: Make sensitive open/close operation non reachable by directly user-controlled data (e.g. open/close resources)
  • Implementation: Perform input validation on user data.

CWE-843: Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion')

The product allocates or initializes a resource such as a pointer, object, or variable using one type, but it later accesses that resource using a type that is incompatible with the original type.
