CVE-2022-23575Network attack vector

Service interruption via unchecked tensor-size multiplication

Published Feb 4, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025

Integer overflow in TensorFlow before 2.5.3, 2.6.0 through 2.6.2, and 2.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to interrupt service. OpLevelCostEstimator::CalculateTensorSize multiplies an attacker-controlled element count by the data-type size without detecting signed 64-bit overflow. Reachability requires permission to create an operation with an extremely large tensor, and the published impact is limited to service availability.
