AVID-2026-R0992
Description
Out of bounds read in Tensorflow (CVE-2022-23592)
Details
Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. TensorFlow’s type inference can cause a heap out of bounds read as the bounds checking is done in a DCHECK (which is a no-op during production). An attacker can control the input_idx variable such that ix would be larger than the number of values in node_t.args. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. This is the only affected version.
Reason for inclusion in AVID: The CVE describes a heap/out-of-bounds read vulnerability in TensorFlow’s type inference, affecting an AI framework used to build/train/deploy AI systems. It is a software vulnerability in a core AI supply-chain component (TensorFlow), not hardware/firmware. The report provides affected versions and remediation, indicating an exploitable security flaw relevant to AI pipelines.
