What is CVE-2022-21725?
CVE-2022-21725 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Google Tensorflow, published on 3 Feb 2022. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. The estimator for the cost of some convolution operations can be made to execute a division by 0. The function fails to check that the stride argument is strictly positive. Hence, the fix is to add a check for the stride argument to ensure it is valid. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
Weakness: CWE-369

How do I fix CVE-2022-21725?
Upgrade tensorflow to a fixed version for your release line: 2.5.3, 2.6.3 or 2.7.1.
Upgrade, then put limits on request size, rate and nesting depth so one client cannot exhaust the service. More about Denial of service.
