FPE in LSH in TFLite
Medium5.5CVE-2021-37691 · Published Aug 25, 2021 · updated Jul 8, 2026
### Impact An attacker can craft a TFLite model that would trigger a division by zero error in LSH [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/149562d49faa709ea80df1d99fc41d005b81082a/tensorflow/lite/kernels/lsh_projection.cc#L118). ```cc int RunningSignBit(const TfLiteTensor* input, const TfLiteTensor* weight, float seed) { int input_item_bytes = input->bytes / SizeOfDimension(input, 0); // ... } ``` There is no check that the first dimension of the input is non zero. ### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [0575b640091680cfb70f4dd93e70658de43b94f9](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/0575b640091680cfb70f4dd93e70658de43b94f9). The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick thiscommit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range. ### For more information Please consult [our security guide](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/SECURITY.md) for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions. ### Attribution This vulnerability has been reported by Yakun ...
