CVE-2022-29200
Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

TensorFlow's implementation of tf.raw_ops.LSTMBlockCell contained a vulnerability (CVE-2022-29200) prior to versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4. The vulnerability was related to insufficient input validation in the LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) block cell operation, which could lead to denial of service attacks (GitHub Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability stemmed from the lack of proper validation for the ranks of input arguments in the tf.raw_ops.LSTMBlockCell operation. When tensor elements were accessed without proper rank validation, it resulted in CHECK-failures. This implementation flaw was present in the core LSTM operations of TensorFlow, affecting the neural network's recurrent layer functionality (GitHub Advisory).

Impact

The vulnerability could be exploited to trigger a denial of service attack through CHECK-failures when providing inputs with incorrect tensor ranks to the LSTMBlockCell operation. This could potentially disrupt the normal operation of machine learning systems using TensorFlow's LSTM implementations (GitHub Advisory).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability was patched in multiple TensorFlow versions: 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4. The fix was implemented through GitHub commit 803404044ae7a1efac48ba82d74111fce1ddb09a, which added proper validation for input argument ranks. Users are advised to upgrade to these patched versions to mitigate the vulnerability (TF Release, GitHub Advisory).
