Description

Impact If the `splits` argument of `RaggedBincount` does not specify a valid `SparseTensor`, then an attacker can trigger a heap buffer overflow: ```python import tensorflow as tf tf.raw_ops.RaggedBincount(splits=[7,8], values= [5, 16, 51, 76, 29, 27, 54, 95],\ size= 59, weights= [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],\ binary_output=False) ``` This will cause a read from outside the bounds of the `splits` tensor buffer in the implementation of the `RaggedBincount` op: ```cc for (int idx = 0; idx = splits(batch_idx)) { batch_idx++; } ... if (bin 0) ? weights(idx) : T(1); out(batch_idx - 1, bin) += value; } } } ``` Before the `for` loop, `batch_idx` is set to 0. The attacker sets `splits(0)` to be 7, hence the `while` loop does not execute and `batch_idx` remains 0. This then results in writing to `out(-1, bin)`, which is before the heap allocated buffer for the output tensor. Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit eebb96c2830d48597d055d247c0e9aebaea94cd5. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2 and TensorFlow 2.3.3, as these are also affected.
