Division by zero in TFLite

TensorFlow

CVE-2021-37680 · Published Aug 25, 2021 · updated Jul 8, 2026

Medium5.5
Fix: upgrade to 2.3.4 or later (3 fixed versions below)
GitHub advisory

Impact

The implementation of fully connected layers in TFLite is [vulnerable to a division by zero error](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/460e000de3a83278fb00b61a16d161b1964f15f4/tensorflow/lite/kernels/fully_connected.cc#L226):

```cc

const int batch_size = input_size / filter->dims->data[1];

`

An attacker can craft a model such that filter->dims->data[1] is 0.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [718721986aa137691ee23f03638867151f74935f](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/718721986aa137691ee23f03638867151f74935f).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
