Description

FractionalMaxPool and FractionalAVGPool heap out-of-bounds acess

Impact

An input pooling_ratio that is smaller than 1 will trigger a heap OOB in [tf.raw_ops.FractionalMaxPool](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/kernels/fractional_max_pool_op.cc) and [tf.raw_ops.FractionalAvgPool](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/kernels/fractional_avg_pool_op.cc).

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [216525144ee7c910296f5b05d214ca1327c9ce48](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/216525144ee7c910296f5b05d214ca1327c9ce48).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11.0. We will also cherry pick this commit on TensorFlow 2.10.1.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

  • Attack vector: Network — reachable from anywhere that can route to the service.
  • Attack complexity: High — the attacker first has to win a race, learn a secret or otherwise prepare the target.
  • Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
  • User interaction: Required — someone has to click, open or visit something.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Integrity impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
