CVE-2022-35995Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Process crash via unchecked sample-rate tensor shape

Published Sep 16, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Reachable assertion in Google TensorFlow 2.7.1 and earlier, 2.8.0, and 2.9.0 allows attackers to crash the process via AudioSummaryV2. SummaryAudioOp reads a multi-element sample_rate tensor through its scalar accessor without first requiring exactly one aligned element, causing a CHECK failure. The attacker must influence an executed computation graph or direct operation inputs; the bounded consequence is termination of the hosting TensorFlow process.
