TensorFlow vulnerable to segfault when opening multiframe gif
Impact
Integer overflow occurs when 2^31 <= num_frames * height * width * channels < 2^32, for example Full HD screencast of at least 346 frames.
import urllib.request
dat = urllib.request.urlopen('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/1c38ad9b78ffe06076745a1ee00cec42f39ff726/tensorflow/core/lib/gif/testdata/3g_multiframe.gif').read()
import tensorflow as tf
tf.io.decode_gif(dat)
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 8dc723fcdd1a6127d6c970bd2ecb18b019a1a58d.
