Summary

CVE-2022-29203 affects TensorFlow versions before 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4. The implementation of `tf.raw_ops.SpaceToBatchND`, across backends including XLA and handwritten kernels, contains an integer overflow whose result is used to allocate the output tensor. The overflow leads to a denial of service through a `CHECK`-failure (assertion failure), as in TFSA-2021-198.

Mitigation

Versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4 contain a patch for this issue.
