Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions TensorFlow versions prior to 2.8.0 TensorFlow versions 2.7.0 through 2.7.0 (will be fixed in 2.7.1) TensorFlow versions 2.6.0 through 2.6.2 (will be fixed in 2.6.3) TensorFlow versions 2.5.0 through 2.5.2 (will be fixed in 2.5.3)

Description A malicious user can cause a use after free behavior when decoding PNG images. After png::CommonFreeDecode(&decode) gets called, the values of decode.width and decode.height are in an unspecified state.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.8.0, update to TensorFlow 2.8.0 or later. For versions 2.7.0 through 2.7.0, update to TensorFlow 2.7.1. For versions 2.6.0 through 2.6.2, update to TensorFlow 2.6.3. For versions 2.5.0 through 2.5.2, update to TensorFlow 2.5.3. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of PNG image decoding until a patch is available.
