CVE-2022-41893: `CHECK_EQ` fail in `tf.raw_ops.TensorListResize` 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: yes
• Published: 2022-11-18 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-617

Description

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. If `tf.raw_ops.TensorListResize` is given a nonscalar value for input `size`, it results `CHECK` fail which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 888e34b49009a4e734c27ab0c43b0b5102682c56. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and TensorFlow 2.8.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

Affected products

• tensorflow: before 2.8.4; from 2.9.0 before 2.9.3; from 2.10.0 before 2.10.1 — fixed in 2.10.1, 2.8.4, 2.9.3

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: tensorflow 2.10.1, 2.8.4, 2.9.3. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
