Description
Impact
TFLite's `expand_dims.cc` contains a vulnerability which allows reading one element outside of bounds of heap allocated data:
```cc
if (axis size; ++i) {
if (i data[i] = input_dims.data[i];
} else if (i == axis) {
output_dims->data[i] = 1;
} else {
output_dims->data[i] = input_dims.data[i - 1];
}
}
```
If `axis` is a large negative value (e.g., `-100000`), then after the first `if` it would still be negative. The check following the `if` statement will pass and the `for` loop would read one element before the start of `input_dims.data` (when `i = 0`).
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit d94ffe08a65400f898241c0374e9edc6fa8ed257.
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
