CVE-2021-41197: Crashes due to overflow and `CHECK`-fail in ops with large tensor shapes

November 10, 2021 (updated November 13, 2024)

TensorFlow allows tensor to have a large number of dimensions and each dimension can be as large as desired. However, the total number of elements in a tensor must fit within an int64_t. If an overflow occurs, MultiplyWithoutOverflow would return a negative result. In the majority of TensorFlow codebase this then results in a CHECK-failure. Newer constructs exist which return a Status instead of crashing the binary.
