Vulnerability identifier: #VU83224

Vulnerability risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23592

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Network

Exploit availability: No

Vulnerable software:
TensorFlow
Server applications / Other server solutions

Vendor: TensorFlow

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to heap out-of-bounds read as the bounds checking is done in a `DCHECK` (which is a no-op during production). A remote user can control the `input_idx` variable such that `ix` would be larger than the number of values in `node_t.args` and read contents of memory on the system.

Mitigation
Install updates from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

TensorFlow: 2.7.0 - 2.7.4
