Impact

There is a typo in TensorFlow's [SpecializeType](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/a1320ec1eac186da1d03f033109191f715b2b130/tensorflow/core/framework/full_type_util.cc#L81-L102) which results in heap OOB read/write:

```cc

for (int i = 0; i < op_def.output_arg_size(); i++) {

// ...

for (int j = 0; j < t->args_size(); j++) {

auto* arg = t->mutable_args(i);

// ...

}

}

`

Due to a typo, arg is initialized to the ith mutable argument in a loop where the loop index is j. Hence it is possible to assign to arg from outside the vector of arguments. Since this is a mutable proto value, it allows both read and write to outside of bounds data.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [0657c83d08845cc434175934c642299de2c0f042](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/0657c83d08845cc434175934c642299de2c0f042).

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