Description
Impact
The shape inference function for `Transpose` is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow:
```python
import tensorflow as tf
@tf.function
def test():
y = tf.raw_ops.Transpose(x=[1,2,3,4],perm=[-10])
return y
test()
```
This occurs whenever `perm` contains negative elements. The shape inference function does not validate that the indices in `perm` are all valid:
```cc
for (int32_t i = 0; i = rank) {
return errors::InvalidArgument("perm dim ", in_idx,
" is out of range of input rank ", rank);
}
dims[i] = c->Dim(input, in_idx);
}
```
where `Dim(tensor, index)` accepts either a positive index less than the rank of the tensor or the special value `-1` for unknown dimensions.
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit c79ba87153ee343401dbe9d1954d7f79e521eb14.
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
