Division by zero in TFLite

TensorFlow

CVE-2022-21741 · Published Feb 9, 2022 · updated Sep 10, 2026

High6.5
Fix: upgrade to 2.5.3 or later (3 fixed versions below)
GitHub advisory

Impact

An attacker can craft a TFLite model that would trigger a division by zero in [the implementation of depthwise convolutions](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/5100e359aef5c8021f2e71c7b986420b85ce7b3d/tensorflow/lite/kernels/depthwise_conv.cc#L96).

The parameters of the convolution can be user controlled and are also used within a division operation to determine the size of the padding that needs to be added before applying the convolution. There is no check before this division that the divisor is stricly positive.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [e5b0eec199c2d03de54fd6a7fd9275692218e2bc](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/e5b0eec199c2d03de54fd6a7fd9275692218e2bc).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
