CVE-2022-29206

Description

### Impact The implementation of [`tf.raw_ops.SparseTensorDenseAdd`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f3b9bf4c3c0597563b289c0512e98d4ce81f886e/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse_tensor_dense_add_op.cc) does not fully validate the input arguments: ```python import tensorflow as tf a_indices = tf.constant(0, shape=[17, 2], dtype=tf.int64) a_values = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.float32) a_shape = tf.constant([6, 12], shape=[2], dtype=tf.int64) b = tf.constant(-0.223668531, shape=[6, 12], dtype=tf.float32) tf.raw_ops.SparseTensorDenseAdd( a_indices=a_indices, a_values=a_values, a_shape=a_shape, b=b) ``` In this case, a reference gets bound to a `nullptr` during kernel execution. This is UB. ### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [11ced8467eccad9c7cb94867708be8fa5c66c730](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/11ced8467eccad9c7cb94867708be8fa5c66c730). The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.9.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.8.1, TensorFlow 2.7.2, and TensorFlow 2.6.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range. ### For more information Please consult [our security guide](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/SECURITY.md) for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions. ### Attribution This vulnerability has been reported by Neophytos Christou from Secure Systems Lab at Brown University.
