TFSA-2021-172: SparseFillEmptyRows heap OOB

CVE Number

CVE-2021-41224

Impact

The implementation of SparseFillEmptyRows can be made to trigger a heap OOB access:

import tensorflow as tf

data=tf.raw_ops.SparseFillEmptyRows(
  indices=[[0,0],[0,0],[0,0]],
  values=['sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss'],
  dense_shape=[5,3],
  default_value='o')

This occurs whenever the size of indices does not match the size of values.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 67bfd9feeecfb3c61d80f0e46d89c170fbee682b.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
