How to Fix CVE-2019-10844

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Nnabla dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

nnabla fixed: 1.0.10 
pip install nnabla>=1.0.10
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show nnabla

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2019-10844, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show nnabla

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Nnabla in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.0.10), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show nnabla command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-807: Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision, where the product uses a protection mechanism that relies on the existence or values of an input, but the input can be modified by an untrusted actor in a way that bypasses the protection mechanism. In Nnabla, 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.

Source Advisory Statement

nbla/logger.cpp in libnnabla.a in Sony Neural Network Libraries (aka nnabla) prior to v1.0.10 relies on the HOME environment variable, which might be untrusted.
