AVID-2026-R1026

Description

Integer overflow in SpaceToBatchND in TensorFlow (CVE-2022-29203)

Details

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. Prior to versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4, the implementation of tf.raw_ops.SpaceToBatchND (in all backends such as XLA and handwritten kernels) is vulnerable to an integer overflow: The result of this integer overflow is used to allocate the output tensor, hence we get a denial of service via a CHECK-failure (assertion failure), as in TFSA-2021-198. Versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4 contain a patch for this issue.

Reason for inclusion in AVID: CVE-2022-29203 is a vulnerability in TensorFlow’s SpaceToBatchND implementation (integer overflow) that can lead to denial of service. TensorFlow is a core AI framework used to build/train/deploy AI systems; the issue affects software dependencies used in GP AI stacks, representing a software supply-chain vulnerability in AI systems. Evidence: CVE details, affected versions, patches, and references.
