TFSA-2021-196: Overflow/crash in tf.tile when tiling tensor is large
CVE Number
CVE-2021-41198
Impact
If tf.tile is called with a large input argument then the TensorFlow process will crash due to a CHECK-failure caused by an overflow.
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
tf.keras.backend.tile(x=np.ones((1,1,1)), n=[100000000,100000000, 100000000])
The number of elements in the output tensor is too much for the int64_t type and the overflow is detected via a CHECK statement. This aborts the process.
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 9294094df6fea79271778eb7e7ae1bad8b5ef98f (merging #51138).
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.
