Summary
CHECK-fail in `CTCGreedyDecoder`
Details

Impact

An attacker can trigger a denial of service via a CHECK-fail in tf.raw_ops.CTCGreedyDecoder:

import tensorflow as tf

inputs = tf.constant([], shape=[18, 2, 0], dtype=tf.float32)
sequence_length = tf.constant([-100, 17], shape=[2], dtype=tf.int32)
merge_repeated = False

tf.raw_ops.CTCGreedyDecoder(inputs=inputs, sequence_length=sequence_length, merge_repeated=merge_repeated)

This is because the implementation has a CHECK_LT inserted to validate some invariants. When this condition is false, the program aborts, instead of returning a valid error to the user. This abnormal termination can be weaponized in denial of service attacks.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit ea3b43e98c32c97b35d52b4c66f9107452ca8fb2.

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.
