CVE-2020-15194: Denial of Service in Tensorflow
(updated )
The SparseFillEmptyRowsGrad implementation has incomplete validation of the shapes of its arguments:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse_fill_empty_rows_op.cc#L235-L241
Although reverse_index_map_t and grad_values_t are accessed in a similar pattern, only reverse_index_map_t is validated to be of proper shape. Hence, malicious users can pass a bad grad_values_t to trigger an assertion failure in vec, causing denial of service in serving installations.
