CVE-2022-35934: `CHECK` failure in tf.reshape in Tensorflow

• Severity: high (CVSS 7.5 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.5% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2022-09-16 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-617

Description

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. The implementation of tf.reshape op in TensorFlow is vulnerable to a denial of service via CHECK-failure (assertion failure) caused by overflowing the number of elements in a tensor. This issue has been patched in GitHub commit 61f0f9b94df8c0411f0ad0ecc2fec2d3f3c33555. 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. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Affected products

• tensorflow: from 2.7.0 before 2.7.2; from 2.8.0 before 2.8.1; from 2.9.0 before 2.9.1; 2.10-rc0, 2.10-rc1, 2.10-rc2, 2.10-rc3 — fixed in 2.7.2, 2.8.1, 2.9.1

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: tensorflow 2.7.2, 2.8.1, 2.9.1. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
