Description

CHECK fail in AudioSummaryV2 in TensorFlow (CVE-2022-35995)

Details

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. When AudioSummaryV2 receives an input sample_rate with more than one element, it gives a CHECK fails that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit bf6b45244992e2ee543c258e519489659c99fb7f. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Reason for inclusion in AVID: CVE-2022-35995 describes a vulnerability in TensorFlow’s AudioSummaryV2 that can trigger a denial of service when given multi-element sample_rate input. TensorFlow is a core AI framework, and this affects AI software stacks (training/inference pipelines). The issue has a CVE entry, a patch commit, affected versions, and a publicly documented vulnerability, placing it squarely in the software supply chain for general-purpose AI systems.
