Summary

CVE-2022-23576 affects TensorFlow's `OpLevelCostEstimator::CalculateOutputSize`, which is vulnerable to an integer overflow. An attacker who can create an operation involving tensors with a large enough number of elements can trigger it, either through many dimensions in `output_shape.dim()` or through a few dimensions that are large enough to overflow the multiplication.

Mitigation

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. The commit will also be cherry-picked to TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, which are also affected and still in the supported range.
