TFSA-2020-018: Heap buffer overflow due to invalid indices in SparseCountSparseOutput

CVE Number

CVE-2020-15198

Impact

The SparseCountSparseOutput implementation does not validate that the input arguments form a valid sparse tensor. In particular, there is no validation that the indices tensor has the same shape as the values one. The values in these tensors are always accessed in parallel:

    for (int idx = 0; idx < num_values; ++idx) {
      int batch = is_1d ? 0 : indices_values(idx, 0);
      const auto& value = values_values(idx);
      // ...
    }

Thus, a shape mismatch can result in accesses outside the bounds of heap allocated buffers.

Vulnerable Versions

TensorFlow 2.3.0.

We have patched the issue in 3cbb917b4714766030b28eba9fb41bb97ce9ee02 and will release a patch release.
