CVE-2021-41196
Crash in `max_pool3d` when size argument is 0 or negative
Impact
### Impact The Keras pooling layers can trigger a segfault if the size of the pool is 0 or if a dimension is negative: ```python import tensorflow as tf pool_size = [2, 2, 0] layer = tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling3D(strides=1, pool_size=pool_size) input_tensor = tf.random.uniform([3, 4, 10, 11, 12], dtype=tf.float32) res = layer(input_tensor) ``` This is due to the TensorFlow's implementation of pooling operations where the values in the sliding window are not checked to be strictly positive. ### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [12b1ff82b3f26ff8de17e58703231d5a02ef1b8b](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/12b1ff82b3f26ff8de17e58703231d5a02ef1b8b) (merging [#51975](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/pull/51975)). The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range. ### For more information Please consult [our security guide](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/SECURITY.md) for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions. ### Attribution This vulnerability has been reported externally via a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/51936).
