Multiple `CHECK`-fails in `function.cc` in TensowFlow

  • Disclosed: 04.02.2022
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 14:17

Impact

A malicious user can cause a denial of service by altering a SavedModel such that assertions in function.cc would be falsified and crash the Python interpreter.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commits dcc21c7bc972b10b6fb95c2fb0f4ab5a59680ec2 and 3d89911481ba6ebe8c88c1c0b595412121e6c645.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
