CVE-2021-29595
Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

TensorFlow, an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning, was found to contain a vulnerability in its TFLite implementation of the DepthToSpace operator. The vulnerability (CVE-2021-29595) was discovered in May 2021 and affected versions prior to 2.5.0. The issue allowed attackers to trigger a division by zero error through crafted model inputs (TF Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the implementation of the DepthToSpace TFLite operator where a division by zero error could occur when calculating output channels. The vulnerable code performs division operations using params->block_size without validating that it's non-zero. The calculation int output_channels = input_channels / block_size / block_size becomes problematic when block_size is zero (TF Advisory).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability could cause the application to crash due to division by zero error, potentially leading to denial of service conditions in systems using affected TensorFlow versions (TF Advisory).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability was patched in TensorFlow 2.5.0. The fix was also backported to versions 2.4.2, 2.3.3, 2.2.3, and 2.1.4. The patch adds a validation check to ensure block_size is greater than 0 before performing the division operation (TF Advisory).
