Abort caused by allocating a vector that is too large in Tensorflow

TensorFlow

CVE-2022-23580 · Published Feb 7, 2022 · updated Jul 13, 2026

Medium6.5
Fix: upgrade to 2.5.3 or later (3 fixed versions below)

Impact

During shape inference, TensorFlow can [allocate a large vector](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/a1320ec1eac186da1d03f033109191f715b2b130/tensorflow/core/framework/shape_inference.cc#L788-L790) based on a value from a tensor controlled by the user:

```cc

const auto num_dims = Value(shape_dim);

std::vector<DimensionHandle> dims;

dims.reserve(num_dims);

`

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [1361fb7e29449629e1df94d44e0427ebec8c83c7](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/1361fb7e29449629e1df94d44e0427ebec8c83c7).

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.
