TFSA-2022-088: CHECK failure in TensorListReserve via missing validation

CVE Number

CVE-2022-35960

Impact

In core/kernels/list_kernels.cc's TensorListReserve, num_elements is assumed to be a tensor of size 1. When a num_elements of more than 1 element is provided, then tf.raw_ops.TensorListReserve fails the CHECK_EQ in CheckIsAlignedAndSingleElement.

import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.TensorListReserve(element_shape=(1,1), num_elements=tf.constant([1,1], dtype=tf.int32), element_dtype=tf.int8)

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

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.
