CVE-2022-36015: Integer overflow in math ops in TensorFlow

• Severity: high (CVSS 7.5 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.7% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known

• Weakness: CWE-190

Description

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. When `RangeSize` receives values that do not fit into an `int64_t`, it crashes. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 37e64539cd29fcfb814c4451152a60f5d107b0f0. 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: 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.
