CVE-2021-41202: Overflow/crash in `tf.range`

November 10, 2021 (updated November 13, 2024)

While calculating the size of the output within the tf.range kernel, there is a conditional statement of type int64 = condition ? int64 : double. Due to C++ implicit conversion rules, both branches of the condition will be cast to double and the result would be truncated before the assignment. This result in overflows:

import tensorflow as tf

tf.sparse.eye(num_rows=9223372036854775807, num_columns=None)

Similarly, tf.range would result in crashes due to overflows if the start or end point are too large.

import tensorflow as tf

tf.range(start=-1e+38, limit=1)
