CVE-2022-29212: Tensorflow Core Dump When Loading TFLite Vulnerability
MODERATECVE-2022-29212 is a MODERATE (CVSS 5.5) core dump when loading tflite vulnerability (CWE-20: Improper Input Validation) affecting Tensorflow libraries in the PyPI ecosystem. The issue involves core dump when loading tflite models with quantization in tensorflow. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 2.6.4, 2.7.2, 2.8.1.
CVE-2022-29212 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 5.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2022-29212
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Tensorflow dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
pip install tensorflow>=2.6.4
pip install tensorflow>=2.7.2
pip install tensorflow>=2.8.1
pip install tensorflow-cpu>=2.6.4
pip install tensorflow-cpu>=2.7.2
pip install tensorflow-cpu>=2.8.1
pip install tensorflow-gpu>=2.6.4
pip install tensorflow-gpu>=2.7.2
pip install tensorflow-gpu>=2.8.1
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show tensorflow
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2022-29212, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show tensorflow
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Tensorflow in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.6.4), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show tensorflow command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-20: Improper Input Validation, where the product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. In Tensorflow, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"summary" : "Core dump when loading TFLite models with quantization in TensorFlow",
"details" : "### Impact\nCertain TFLite models that were created using TFLite model converter would crash when loaded in the TFLite interpreter. The culprit is that during quantization the scale of values could be greater than 1 but code was always assuming sub-unit scaling.\n\nThus, since code was calling [`QuantizeMultiplierSmallerThanOneExp`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f3b9bf4c3c0597563b289c0512e98d4ce81f886e/tensorflow/lite/kernels/internal/quantization_util.cc#L114-L123), the `TFLITE_CHECK_LT` assertion would trigger and abort the process.\n\n### Patches\nWe have patched the issue in GitHub commit [a989426ee1346693cc015792f11d715f6944f2b8](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/a989426ee1346693cc015792f11d715f6944f2b8).\n\nThe fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.9.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.8.1, TensorFlow 2.7.2, and TensorFlow 2.6.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.\n\n### For more information\nPlease consult [our security guide](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/SECURITY.md) for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions.\n\n### Attribution\nThis vulnerability has been reported externally via a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/43661).",
