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-2021-37689 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- tensorflow (Bitnami): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.4, 2.4.3, 2.5.1\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.4\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.4\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.4, 2.4.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.5.0; fixed in 2.5.1\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.5.0; fixed in 2.5.1\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.4\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.4\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.4, 2.4.3\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.3\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-2021-37689/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-37689/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-37689","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-37689/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-37689","record":{"aliases":["BIT-tensorflow-2021-37689","GHSA-wf5p-c75w-w3wh","PYSEC-2021-311","PYSEC-2021-602","PYSEC-2021-800"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TensorFlow machine learning library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by crafting a malicious TFLite model that triggers a null pointer dereference in MLIR optimizations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"tensorflow","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions 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](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/149562d49faa709ea80df1d99fc41d005b81082a/tensorflow/compiler/mlir/lite/transforms/optimize.cc#L67-L70) unconditionally dereferences a pointer to an iterator to a vector without checking that the vector has elements. 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
