Descriptions

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions TFLite's [`expand_dims.cc`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/149562d49faa709ea80df1d99fc41d005b81082a/tensorflow/lite/kernels/expand_dims.cc#L36-L50) contains a vulnerability which allows reading one element outside of bounds of heap allocated data. If `axis` is a large negative value (e.g., `-100000`), then after the first `if` it would still be negative. The check following the `if` statement will pass and the `for` loop would read one element before the start of `input_dims.data` (when `i = 0`). We have patched the issue in GitHub commit d94ffe08a65400f898241c0374e9edc6fa8ed257. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, 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. En las versiones afectadas, TFLite ["expand_dims.cc"] (https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/149562d49faa709ea80df1d99fc41d005b81082a/tensorflow/lite/kernels/expand_dims.cc#L36-L50) contiene una vulnerabilidad que permite leer un elemento fuera de límites de los datos asignados a la pila. Si "axis" es un valor negativo grande (p. Ej., "-100000"), después del primer "if" seguirá siendo negativo. La comprobación que sigue a la instrucción "if" pasará y el ciclo "for" leerá un elemento antes del inicio de "input_dims.data" (cuando" i = 0"). Hemos solucionado el problema en GitHub commit d94ffe08a65400f898241c0374e9edc6fa8ed257. La corrección será incluida en TensorFlow versión 2.6.0. También seleccionaremos este commit en TensorFlow versión 2.5.1, TensorFlow versión 2.4.3 y TensorFlow versión 2.3.4,
