QID 982532: Python (pip) Security Update for tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-8h46-5m9h-7553)
Security update has been released for tensorflow,tensorflow-cpu,tensorflow-gpu 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.
If the `splits` argument of `RaggedBincount` does not specify a valid [`SparseTensor`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/sparse/SparseTensor), then an attacker can trigger a heap buffer overflow:
```python
import tensorflow as tf
tf.raw_ops.RaggedBincount(splits=[7,8], values= [5, 16, 51, 76, 29, 27, 54, 95],\
size= 59, weights= [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],\
binary_output=False)
```
This will cause a read from outside the bounds of the `splits` tensor buffer in the [implementation of the `RaggedBincount` op](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/8b677d79167799f71c42fd3fa074476e0295413a/tensorflow/core/kernels/bincount_op.cc#L430-L446):
```cc
for (int idx = 0; idx < num_values; ++idx) {
while (idx >= splits(batch_idx)) {
batch_idx++;
}
...
if (bin < size) {
if (binary_output_) {
out(batch_idx - 1, bin) = T(1);
} else {
T value = (weights_size > 0) ? weights(idx) : T(1);
out(batch_idx - 1, bin) += value;
}
}
}
```
Before the `for` loop, `batch_idx` is set to 0. The attacker sets `splits(0)` to be 7, hence the `while` loop does not execute and `batch_idx` remains 0. This then results in writing to `out(-1, bin)`, which is before the heap allocated buffer for the output tensor.
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2 and TensorFlow 2.3.3, as these are also affected.
