{"id":"GHSA-8c89-2vwr-chcq","summary":"Heap buffer overflow in `QuantizedResizeBilinear`","details":"### Impact\nAn attacker can cause a heap buffer overflow in `QuantizedResizeBilinear` by passing in invalid thresholds for the quantization:\n\n```python\nimport tensorflow as tf\n\nimages = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.qint32)\nsize = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.int32) \nmin = tf.constant([], dtype=tf.float32)\nmax = tf.constant([], dtype=tf.float32)\n\ntf.raw_ops.QuantizedResizeBilinear(images=images, size=size, min=min, max=max, align_corners=False, half_pixel_centers=False)\n```\n\nThis is because the [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/50711818d2e61ccce012591eeb4fdf93a8496726/tensorflow/core/kernels/quantized_resize_bilinear_op.cc#L705-L706) assumes that the 2 arguments are always valid scalars and tries to access the numeric value directly:\n\n```cc\nconst float in_min = context-\u003einput(2).flat\u003cfloat\u003e()(0);\nconst float in_max = context-\u003einput(3).flat\u003cfloat\u003e()(0);\n```\n\nHowever, if any of these tensors is empty, then `.flat\u003cT\u003e()` is an empty buffer and accessing the element at position 0 results in overflow.\n\n### Patches \nWe have patched the issue in GitHub commit [f6c40f0c6cbf00d46c7717a26419f2062f2f8694](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/f6c40f0c6cbf00d46c7717a26419f2062f2f8694).\n\nThe 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.\n\n### For more
