Impact

Another instance of CVE-2022-35935, where SobolSample is vulnerable to a denial of service via assumed scalar inputs, was found and fixed.

import tensorflow as tf
tf.raw_ops.SobolSample(dim=tf.constant([1,0]), num_results=tf.constant([1]), skip=tf.constant([1]))

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commits c65c67f88ad770662e8f191269a907bf2b94b1bf and 02400ea266bd811fc016a848445de1bbff3a23a0

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11. We will also cherrypick both commits on TensorFlow 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and TensorFlow 2.8.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range. TensorFlow 2.7.4 will have the first commit cherrypicked.
