Overview

CVE-2022-23587 affects TensorFlow, an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. The vulnerability was discovered in the Grappler component, specifically related to an integer overflow during cost estimation for crop and resize operations. The issue was disclosed on February 4, 2022, affecting TensorFlow versions up to 2.5.2, versions 2.6.0 to 2.6.2, and version 2.7.0 (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as an Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CWE-190). The issue occurs in the Grappler component during cost estimation for crop and resize operations, where cropping parameters are user-controlled. The vulnerability received a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 9.8 (CRITICAL) from NIST and 8.8 (HIGH) from GitHub (NVD).

Impact

Since the cropping parameters are user-controlled, a malicious actor can trigger undefined behavior in the system through integer overflow manipulation (GitHub Advisory).
