Description

Impact

When mlir::tfg::ConvertGenericFunctionToFunctionDef is given empty function attributes, it crashes.

// We pre-allocate the array of operands and populate it using the
// `output_name_to_position` and `control_output_to_position` populated
// previously.
SmallVector<Value> ret_vals(func.ret_size() + func.control_ret_size(),
                            Value());
for (const auto& ret_val : func.ret()) {
  auto position = output_name_to_position.find(ret_val.first);
  if (position == output_name_to_position.end())
    return InvalidArgument(
        "Can't import function, returned value references unknown output "
        "argument ",
        ret_val.first);
  ret_vals[position->second] =
      value_manager.GetValueOrCreatePlaceholder(ret_val.second);
}
for (const auto& ret_val : func.control_ret()) {
  auto position = control_output_to_position.find(ret_val.first);
  if (position == control_output_to_position.end())
    return InvalidArgument(
        "Can't import function, returned value references unknown output "
        "argument ",
        ret_val.first);
  Value result = value_manager.GetValueOrCreatePlaceholder(
      (Twine("^") + ret_val.second).str());

ret_val.second cannot be empty. Neither can input.

// Process every node and create a matching MLIR operation
for (const NodeDef& node : nodes) {
  if (node.op().empty()) return InvalidArgument("empty op type");
  OperationState state(unknown_loc, absl::StrCat("tfg.", node.op()));
  // Fetch the inputs, creating placeholder if an input hasn't been visited.
  for (const std::string& input : node.input())
    state.operands.push_back(
        value_manager.GetValueOrCreatePlaceholder(input));

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit ad069af92392efee1418c48ff561fd3070a03d7b.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, 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. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update tensorflow to 2.7.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-jvhc-5hhr-w3v5 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-jvhc-5hhr-w3v5 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-jvhc-5hhr-w3v5. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.

Is GHSA-jvhc-5hhr-w3v5 in your dependencies?

O3 detects GHSA-jvhc-5hhr-w3v5 across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
