Description

Impact By controlling the `fill` argument of `tf.strings.as_string`, a malicious attacker is able to trigger a format string vulnerability due to the way the internal format use in a `printf` call is constructed: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/core/kernels/as_string_op.cc#L68-L74 This can result in unexpected output: ```python In [1]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill='-') Out[1]: In [2]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill='+') Out[2]: In [3]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="h") Out[3]: In [4]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="d") Out[4]: In [5]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="o") Out[5]: In [6]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="x") Out[6]: In [7]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="g") Out[7]: In [8]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="a") Out[8]: In [9]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="c") Out[9]: In [10]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="p") Out[10]: In [11]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill='m') Out[11]: ``` However, passing in `n` or `s` results in segmentation fault. Patches We have patched the issue in 33be22c65d86256e6826666662e40dbdfe70ee83 and will release patch releases for all versions between 1.15 and 2.3. We recommend users to upgrade to TensorFlow 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1, or 2.3.1.
