Process crash via unchecked pooling dimensions
Published Mar 24, 2023 · Updated Feb 19, 2025
Heap buffer overflow in TensorFlow TAvgPoolGrad before 2.11.1 allows remote attackers to crash a process via malformed pooling parameters. AvgPoolingGradOp begins its sharded gradient computation without validating that each output row and column maps to a valid broadcast region. Triggering the CPU operation with incompatible input dimensions and strides causes an out-of-bounds heap access, limiting the grounded impact to process availability.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
