Description

Impact

The shape inference code for AllToAll can be made to execute a division by 0:

import tensorflow as tf
  
@tf.function
def func():
  return tf.raw_ops.AllToAll(
    input=[0.0, 0.1652, 0.6543],
    group_assignment=[1, -1],
    concat_dimension=0,
    split_dimension=0,
    split_count=0)

func()

This occurs whenever the split_count argument is 0:

TF_RETURN_IF_ERROR(c->GetAttr("split_count", &split_count));
...                  
for (int32_t i = 0; i < rank; ++i) {      
  ...                                     
  dims[i] = c->MakeDim(c->Value(dims[i]) / split_count);
  ...                
}

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit a8ad3e5e79c75f36edb81e0ba3f3c0c5442aeddc.

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.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for tensorflow, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update tensorflow to 2.6.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9crf-c6qr-r273 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
