Descriptions

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.

Tensorflow es un marco de aprendizaje automático de código abierto. La implementación de "StringNGrams" puede ser usada para desencadenar un ataque de denegación de servicio causando una condición de fuera de memoria tras un desbordamiento de enteros. Falta una comprobación en "pad_witdh" y eso hace que sea computado un valor negativo para "ngram_width" que luego es usada para asignar partes de la salida. La corrección será incluida en TensorFlow versión 2.8.0. También seleccionaremos este commit en TensorFlow versión 2.7.1, TensorFlow versión 2.6.3, y TensorFlow versión 2.5.3, ya que estos también están afectados y aún están en el rango admitido
