Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26269)
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in filesystem glob matching in GetMatchingPaths when parsing crafted filesystem path patterns. A local user can invoke glob matching on a crafted path to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because directory index assumptions in the parallel implementation are not verified under certain scenarios.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15266)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in tf.image.crop_and_resize when processing a boxes argument with very large values. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted boxes argument to cause a denial of service.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15265)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in tf.quantization.quantize_and_dequantize when processing an invalid axis value. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted axis value to cause a denial of service.
In normal builds, the dimension check is compiled out, which can lead to a segmentation fault.
