Descriptions

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. An attacker can cause a division by zero to occur in `Conv2DBackpropFilter`. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/1b0296c3b8dd9bd948f924aa8cd62f87dbb7c3da/tensorflow/core/kernels/conv_grad_filter_ops.cc#L513-L522) computes a divisor based on user provided data (i.e., the shape of the tensors given as arguments). If all shapes are empty then `work_unit_size` is 0. Since there is no check for this case before division, this results in a runtime exception, with potential to be abused for a denial of service. 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.

TensorFlow es una plataforma de código abierto de extremo a extremo para el aprendizaje automático. Un atacante puede causar que una división por cero ocurra en la función "Conv2DBackpropFilter". Esto es debido a que la implementación (https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/1b0296c3b8dd9bd948f924aa8cd62f87dbb7c3da/tensorflow/core/kernels/conv_grad_filter_ops.cc#L513-L522) calcula un divisor basado en una forma de datos proporcionada por el usuario (es decir, los tensores dados como argumentos). Si todas las formas están vacías, entonces "work_unit_size" es 0. Dado que no se presenta comprobación para este caso anterior a la división, esto resulta en una excepción de tiempo de ejecución, con potencial de que sea abusado por una denegación de servicio. La corrección será incluida en TensorFlow versión 2.5.0. También seleccionaremos este commit en TensorFlow versión 2.4.2, TensorFlow versión 2.3.3, TensorFlow versión 2.2.3 y TensorFlow versión 2.1.4, ya que estos también están afectados y aún están en el rango compatible
