Summary

CVE-2022-23592 affects TensorFlow, an open source machine learning framework. Its type inference performs bounds checking inside a `DCHECK`, which is a no-op in production builds, allowing a heap out of bounds read. An attacker who controls the `input_idx` variable can make `ix` exceed the number of values in `node_t.args`. TensorFlow 2.8.0 is the only affected version.

Mitigation

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0.
