CVE-2022-21733 Information

Description

Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. The implementation of StringNGrams can be used to trigger a denial of service attack by causing an out of memory condition after an integer overflow. We are missing a validation on pad_witdh and that result in computing a negative value for ngram_width which is later used to allocate parts of the output. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1 TensorFlow 2.6.3 and TensorFlow 2.5.3 as these are also affected and still in supported range.
