Out of bounds write in TFLite

TensorFlow

CVE-2022-23561 · Published Feb 9, 2022 · updated Jul 13, 2026

High8.8
Fix: upgrade to 2.5.3 or later (3 fixed versions below)
GitHub advisory

Impact

An attacker can craft a TFLite model that would cause a write outside of bounds of an array in TFLite. In fact, the attacker can override the linked list used by the memory allocator. This can be leveraged for an arbitrary write primitive under certain conditions.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [6c0b2b70eeee588591680f5b7d5d38175fd7cdf6](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/6c0b2b70eeee588591680f5b7d5d38175fd7cdf6).

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.
