`CHECK` fail in `BCast` overflow

Description

Impact

If BCast::ToShape is given input larger than an int32, it will crash, despite being supposed to handle up to an int64. An example can be seen in tf.experimental.numpy.outer by passing in large input to the input b.

import tensorflow as tf
value = tf.constant(shape=[2, 1024, 1024, 1024], value=False)
tf.experimental.numpy.outer(a=6,b=value)

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 8310bf8dd188ff780e7fc53245058215a05bdbe5.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and TensorFlow 2.8.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:R)
A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
