CVE-2022-29199
Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

CVE-2022-29199 affects TensorFlow, an open source platform for machine learning, prior to versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4. The vulnerability exists in the implementation of tf.raw_ops.LoadAndRemapMatrix which does not fully validate input arguments. The issue was discovered and disclosed in May 2022 (GitHub Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of input arguments in the LoadAndRemapMatrix operation. Specifically, the code assumes initializing_values is a vector but performs no validation before accessing its value. This implementation flaw can lead to a CHECK-failure when invalid input is provided (GitHub Advisory).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability can be used to trigger a denial of service attack through CHECK-failure. The impact is considered Low severity according to the security assessment (GitHub Advisory).

Exploitability

A proof-of-concept exploit exists that demonstrates how the vulnerability can be triggered using specific input parameters to the LoadAndRemapMatrix operation. The attack can be executed by providing invalid input arguments to the function (GitHub Advisory).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been patched in TensorFlow versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4. Users should upgrade to one of these patched versions. The fix was implemented in GitHub commit 3150642acbbe254e3c3c5d2232143fa591855ac9 (GitHub Advisory, TF Release).
