CVE-2021-29550 — Division by 0 in `FractionalAvgPool`

2026-10-09T14:22:38.580801+00:00

Affected: tensorflow

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. An attacker can cause a runtime division by zero error and denial of service in `tf.raw_ops.FractionalAvgPool`. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/acc8ee69f5f46f92a3f1f11230f49c6ac266f10c/tensorflow/core/kernels/fractional_avg_pool_op.cc#L85-L89) computes a divisor quantity by dividing two user controlled values. The user controls the values of `input_size[i]` and `pooling_ratio_[i]` (via the `value.shape()` and `pooling_ratio` arguments). If the value in `input_size[i]` is smaller than the `pooling_ratio_[i]`, then the floor operation results in `output_size[i]` being 0. The `DCHECK_GT` line is a no-op outside of debug mode, so in released versions of TF this does not trigger. Later, these computed values are used as arguments(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/acc8ee69f5f46f92a3f1f11230f49c6ac266f10c/tensorflow/core/kernels/fractional_avg_pool_op.cc#L96-L99) to `GeneratePoolingSequence`(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/acc8ee69f5f46f92a3f1f11230f49c6ac266f10c/tensorflow/core/kernels/fractional_pool_common.cc#L100-L108). There, the first computation is a division in a modulo operation. Since `output_length` can be 0, this results in runtime crashing. 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 a…

GHSA-f78g-q7r4-9wcv — Division by 0 in `FractionalAvgPool`

2026-10-09T14:22:38.580869+00:00

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

### Impact An attacker can cause a runtime division by zero error and denial of service in `tf.raw_ops.FractionalAvgPool`:

```python import tensorflow as tf

value = tf.constant([60], shape=[1, 1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.int32) pooling_ratio = [1.0, 1.0000014345305555, 1.0, 1.0] pseudo_random = False overlapping = False deterministic = False seed = 0 seed2 = 0

tf.raw_ops.FractionalAvgPool( value=value, pooling_ratio=pooling_ratio, pseudo_random=pseudo_random, overlapping=overlapping, deterministic=deterministic, seed=seed, seed2=seed2) ```

This is because the [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/acc8ee69f5f46f92a3f1f11230f49c6ac266f10c/tensorflow/core/kernels/fractional_avg_pool_op.cc#L85-L89) computes a divisor quantity by dividing two user controlled values:

```cc for (int i = 0; i < tensor_in_and_out_dims; ++i) { output_size[i] = static_cast(std::floor(input_size[i] / pooling_ratio_[i])); DCHECK_GT(output_size[i], 0); } ``` The user controls the values of `input_size[i]` and `pooling_ratio_[i]` (via the `value.shape()` and `pooling_ratio` arguments). If the value in `input_size[i]` is smaller than the `pooling_ratio_[i]`, then the floor operation results in `output_size[i]` being 0. The `DCHECK_GT` line is a no-op outside of debug mode, so in released versions of TF this does not trigger.

Later, these computed values [are used as arguments](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/acc8ee69f5f46f92a3f1f1…
