What is CVE-2022-23565?

CVE-2022-23565 is a medium-severity denial of service 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 trigger denial of service via assertion failure by altering a `SavedModel` on disk such that `AttrDef`s of some operation are duplicated. 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-617

How do I fix CVE-2022-23565?

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.
