TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` failures in `UnbatchGradOp`

TensorFlow

CVE-2022-35952 · Published Sep 16, 2022 · updated Jul 13, 2026

Medium5.9
Fix: upgrade to 2.7.2 or later (3 fixed versions below)

Impact

The [UnbatchGradOp](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/769eddaf479c8debead9a59a72617d6ed6f0fe10/tensorflow/core/kernels/batch_kernels.cc#L891) function takes an argument id that is assumed to be a scalar. A nonscalar id can trigger a CHECK failure and crash the program.

```python

import numpy as np

import tensorflow as tf

id is not scalar

tf.raw_ops.UnbatchGrad(original_input= tf.constant([1]),batch_index=tf.constant([[0,0,0 ], ], dtype=tf.int64),grad=tf.constant([1,]),id=tf.constant([1,1,], dtype=tf.int64))

`

It also requires its argument batch_index to contain three times the number of elements as indicated in its batch_index.dim_size(0). An incorrect batch_index can trigger a CHECK failure and crash the program.

```python

import numpy as np

import tensorflow as tf

batch_index's size is not 3

tf.raw_ops.UnbatchGrad(original_input= tf.constant([1]),batch_index=tf.constant([[0,0], ], dtype=tf.int64),grad=tf.constant([1,]),id=tf.constant([1,], dtype=tf.int64))

`

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [5f945fc6409a3c1e90d6970c9292f805f6e6ddf2](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/5f945fc6409a3c1e90d6970c9292f805f6e6ddf2).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still...

### Impact The [`UnbatchGradOp`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/769eddaf479c8debead9a59a72617d6ed6f0fe10/tensorflow/core/kernels/batch_kernels.cc#L891) function takes an argument `id` that is assumed to be a scalar. A nonscalar `id` can trigger a `CHECK` failure and crash the program. ```python import numpy as np import tensorflow as tf # `id` is not scalar tf.raw_ops.UnbatchGrad(original_input= tf.constant([1]),batch_index=tf.constant([[0,0,0 ], ], dtype=tf.int64),grad=tf.constant([1,]),id=tf.constant([1,1,], dtype=tf.int64)) ``` It also requires its argument `batch_index` to contain three times the number of elements as indicated in its `batch_index.dim_size(0)`. An incorrect `batch_index` can trigger a `CHECK` failure and crash the program. ```python import numpy as np import tensorflow as tf # batch_index's size is not 3 tf.raw_ops.UnbatchGrad(original_input= tf.constant([1]),batch_index=tf.constant([[0,0], ], dtype=tf.int64),grad=tf.constant([1,]),id=tf.constant([1,], dtype=tf.int64)) ``` ### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [5f945fc6409a3c1e90d6970c9292f805f6e6ddf2](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/5f945fc6409a3c1e90d6970c9292f805f6e6ddf2). The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range. ### For more information Please consult [our security guide](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/SECURITY.md) for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions. ### Attribution This vulnerability has been reported by Kang Hong Jin from Singapore Management University and 刘力源 from the Information System & Security and Countermeasures Experiments Center, Beijing Institute of Technology
