Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion')

CVE-2022-29209

Severity Medium
Score 5.5/10

Summary

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. Versions prior to 2.6.4, 2.7.x prior to 2.7.2, 2.8.x prior to 2.8.1, and 2.9.x prior to 2.9.0, the macros that TensorFlow uses for writing assertions (e.g., `CHECK_LT`, `CHECK_GT`, etc.) have an incorrect logic when comparing `size_t` and `int` values. Due to type conversion rules, several of the macros would trigger incorrectly. Versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4 contain a patch for this issue.
