What is CVE-2022-21741?
CVE-2022-21741 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. ### Impact An attacker can craft a TFLite model that would trigger a division by zero in the implementation of depthwise convolutions. The parameters of the convolution can be user controlled and are also used within a division operation to determine the size of the padding that needs to be added before applying the convolution. There is no check before this division that the divisor is strictly positive. 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.

How do I fix CVE-2022-21741?
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.
