What is CVE-2022-23559?

CVE-2022-23559 is a high-severity vulnerability in Google Tensorflow, published on 4 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. An attacker can craft a TFLite model that would cause an integer overflow in embedding lookup operations. Both `embedding_size` and `lookup_size` are products of values provided by the user. Hence, a malicious user could trigger overflows in the multiplication. In certain scenarios, this can then result in heap OOB read/write. Users are advised to upgrade to a patched version.

Weakness: CWE-190
