CVE-2020-15200: Segfault in Tensorflow

September 25, 2020 (updated October 28, 2024)

The RaggedCountSparseOutput implementation does not validate that the input arguments form a valid ragged tensor. In particular, there is no validation that the values in the splits tensor generate a valid partitioning of the values tensor. Thus, the following code sets up conditions to cause a heap buffer overflow:

auto per_batch_counts = BatchedMap<W>(num_batches);
int batch_idx = 0;
for (int idx = 0; idx < num_values; ++idx) {
while (idx >= splits_values(batch_idx)) {
batch_idx++;
}
const auto& value = values_values(idx);
if (value >= 0 && (maxlength_ <= 0 || value < maxlength_)) {
per_batch_counts[batch_idx - 1][value] = 1;
}
}

A BatchedMap is equivalent to a vector where each element is a hashmap. However, if the first element of splits_values is not 0, batch_idx will never be 1, hence there will be no hashmap at index 0 in per_batch_counts. Trying to access that in the user code results in a segmentation fault.
