Description

Invalid char to bool conversion when printing a tensor

Impact

When [printing a tensor](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/807cae8a807960fd7ac2313cde73a11fc15e7942/tensorflow/core/framework/tensor.cc#L1200-L1227), we get it's data as a const char* array (since that's the underlying storage) and then we typecast it to the element type. However, conversions from char to bool are undefined if the char is not 0 or 1, so sanitizers/fuzzers will crash.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [1be743703279782a357adbf9b77dcb994fe8b508](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/1be743703279782a357adbf9b77dcb994fe8b508).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.10.1, TensorFlow 2.9.3, and TensorFlow 2.8.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

Attribution

This vulnerability was discovered via internal fuzzing.

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 none, integrity none, 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:N/I:N/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: None.
  • Integrity impact: None.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
