The SparseFillEmptyRowsGrad
implementation has incomplete validation of the shapes of its arguments:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparsefillemptyrowsop.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.
We have patched the issue in 390611e0d45c5793c7066110af37c8514e6a6c54 and will release a patch release for all affected versions.
We recommend users to upgrade to TensorFlow 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1, or 2.3.1.
