Description

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. Prior to versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4, the `tf.compat.v1.signal.rfft2d` and `tf.compat.v1.signal.rfft3d` lack input validation and under certain condition can result in crashes (due to `CHECK`-failures). Versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4 contain a patch for this issue.

Affected products

• tensorflow: before 2.6.4; from 2.7.0 before 2.7.2; 2.7.0-rc0, 2.7.0-rc1, 2.8.0, 2.8.0-rc0, 2.8.0-rc1, 2.9.0-rc0 (+1) — fixed in 2.6.4, 2.7.2

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: tensorflow 2.6.4, 2.7.2. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
