It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-29545 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- tensorflow (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.4, 2.2.3, 2.3.3, 2.4.2\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.0rc0, 2.3.0rc0, 2.3.4, 2.4.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.4\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.4\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.2.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.2.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.2\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.2\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.0rc0, 2.3.0rc0, 2.3.4, 2.4.3\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.4\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29545/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29545/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-29545","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29545/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-29545","record":{"aliases":["BIT-tensorflow-2021-29545","GHSA-hmg3-c7xj-6qwm","PYSEC-2021-182","PYSEC-2021-473","PYSEC-2021-671"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TensorFlow ML library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service in TensorFlow by triggering a heap buffer overflow during sparse tensor conversion.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"tensorflow","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":2.5,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-131","name":"Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size"}],"description":"TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. An attacker can trigger a denial of service via a `CHECK`-fail in converting sparse tensors to CSR Sparse matrices. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/800346f2c03a27e182dd4fba48295f65e7790739/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse/kernels.cc#L66) does a double redirection to access an element of an array allocated on the heap. If the value at `indices(i, 0)` is such that `indices(i, 0) + 1` is outside the bounds of `csr_row_ptr`, this results in writing outside of bounds of heap allocated data. 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
