QID 981530: Python (pip) Security Update for tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-gf88-j2mg-cc82)
Security update has been released for tensorflow-gpu,tensorflow,tensorflow-cpu to fix the vulnerability.
Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
An attacker can cause a denial of service in `boosted_trees_create_quantile_stream_resource` by using negative arguments:
```python
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.python.ops import gen_boosted_trees_ops
import numpy as np
v= tf.Variable([0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0])
gen_boosted_trees_ops.boosted_trees_create_quantile_stream_resource(
quantile_stream_resource_handle = v.handle,
epsilon = [74.82224],
num_streams = [-49],
max_elements = np.int32(586))
```
The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/84d053187cb80d975ef2b9684d4b61981bca0c41/tensorflow/core/kernels/boosted_trees/quantile_ops.cc#L96) does not validate that `num_streams` only contains non-negative numbers. In turn, [this results in using this value to allocate memory](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/84d053187cb80d975ef2b9684d4b61981bca0c41/tensorflow/core/kernels/boosted_trees/quantiles/quantile_stream_resource.h#L31-L40):
```cc
class BoostedTreesQuantileStreamResource : public ResourceBase {
public:
BoostedTreesQuantileStreamResource(const float epsilon,
const int64 max_elements,
const int64 num_streams)
: are_buckets_ready_(false),
epsilon_(epsilon),
num_streams_(num_streams),
max_elements_(max_elements) {
streams_.reserve(num_streams_);
...
}
}
```
However, `reserve` receives an unsigned integer so there is an implicit conversion from a negative value to a large positive unsigned. This results in a crash from the standard library.
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.
