Null pointer dereference in TFLite MLIR optimizations
Impact
An attacker can craft a TFLite model that would trigger a null pointer dereference, which would result in a crash and denial of service:
This is caused by the MLIR optimization of L2NormalizeReduceAxis operator. The implementation unconditionally dereferences a pointer to an iterator to a vector without checking that the vector has elements:
bool L2NormalizeReduceAxis(Value sq_op, DenseElementsAttr axis) {
if (sq_op.getType().cast<ShapedType>().getRank() - 1 ==
*axis.getValues<int>().begin() ||
*axis.getValues<int>().begin() == -1) {
// ...
}
// ...
}
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit d6b57f461b39fd1aa8c1b870f1b974aac3554955.
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.
