Impact
Due to lack of validation in tf.raw_ops.SparseDenseCwiseMul, an attacker can trigger denial of service via CHECK-fails or accesses to outside the bounds of heap allocated data:
import tensorflow as tf
indices = tf.constant([], shape=[10, 0], dtype=tf.int64)
values = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.int64)
shape = tf.constant([0, 0], shape=[2], dtype=tf.int64)
dense = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.int64)
tf.raw_ops.SparseDenseCwiseMul(
sp_indices=indices, sp_values=values, sp_shape=shape, dense=dense)
Since the implementation only validates the rank of the input arguments but no constraints between dimensions, an attacker can abuse them to trigger internal CHECK assertions (and cause program termination, denial of service) or to write to memory outside of bounds of heap allocated tensor buffers.
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 7ae2af34087fb4b5c8915279efd03da3b81028bc.
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.

Attribution
This vulnerability has been reported by Yakun Zhang and Ying Wang of Baidu X-Team.
The vulnerability requires local access to the device to be exploited. It is difficult for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability and may require special conditions. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a low impact on the availability of the system.
Limited exploitation activity has been observed. Close monitoring and planned remediation are recommended.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
