CVE-2022-23578: Memory leak in Tensorflow

February 10, 2022 (updated November 13, 2024)

If a graph node is invalid, TensorFlow can leak memory in the implementation of ImmutableExecutorState::Initialize:

Status s = params_.create_kernel(n->properties(), &item->kernel);
if (!s.ok()) {
item->kernel = nullptr;
s = AttachDef(s, *n);
return s;
}

Here, we set item->kernel to nullptr but it is a simple OpKernel* pointer so the memory that was previously allocated to it would leak.
