Missing validation causes denial of service in TensorFlow via `LSTMBlockCell`

Published May 20, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Vendor: TensorFlow Product: TensorFlow Package: tensorflow Package: tensorflow-cpu Package: tensorflow-gpu Ecosystem: PyPI

Description

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. Prior to versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4, the implementation of `tf.raw_ops.LSTMBlockCell` does not fully validate the input arguments. This results in a `CHECK`-failure which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack. The code does not validate the ranks of any of the arguments to this API call. This results in `CHECK`-failures when the elements of the tensor are accessed. Versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4 contain a patch for this issue.
