CVE-2021-29594
Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning where a vulnerability was discovered in TFLite's convolution code. The vulnerability (CVE-2021-29594) involves multiple division operations where the divisor is user-controlled and not checked to be non-zero, potentially leading to division by zero errors. This vulnerability affects TensorFlow versions prior to 2.5.0, including versions 2.4.2, 2.3.3, 2.2.3, and 2.1.4 (GitHub Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in TensorFlow's convolution code implementation where multiple division operations are performed without proper validation of the divisor. For example, the code performs calculations like const int input_size = NumElements(input) / SizeOfDimension(input, 0) without ensuring the denominator is non-zero. The issue was patched in GitHub commit ff489d95a9006be080ad14feb378f2b4dac35552, which added proper validation checks to prevent division by zero scenarios (GitHub Commit).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability can lead to division by zero errors in the TensorFlow application. This could potentially cause application crashes or unexpected behavior when processing machine learning models with specifically crafted input values (GitHub Advisory).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been fixed in TensorFlow 2.5.0. The fix was also backported to earlier supported versions including TensorFlow 2.4.2, 2.3.3, 2.2.3, and 2.1.4. Users are advised to upgrade to these patched versions to mitigate the vulnerability (GitHub Advisory).
