Security Bulletin: Multiple TensorFlow Vulnerabilities Affect IBM Watson Machine Learning on CP4D

Security Bulletin


Summary

TensorFlow is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a query-of-death flaw when running an LSTM/GRU model on IBM Watson Machine Learning on CP4D

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2020-26270
DESCRIPTION:   TensorFlow is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a query-of-death flaw when running an LSTM/GRU model. By sending a specially-crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to causes a CHECK failure when using the CUDA backend.
CVSS Base score: 3.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/193281 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-26266
DESCRIPTION:   TensorFlow could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an uninitialized memory access flaw in Eigen types during code execution. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information from the memory, or cause the system to crash.
CVSS Base score: 4.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/193277 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-26269
DESCRIPTION:   TensorFlow is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds read flaw in the general implementation for matching filesystem paths to globbing pattern. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to causes the system to crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/193280 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-26268
DESCRIPTION:   TensorFlow is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a modification of assumed-immutable data issue. By sending a specially-crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to causes a segmentation fault.
CVSS Base score: 4.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/193279 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-26271
DESCRIPTION:   TensorFlow could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an uninitialized memory access flaw while building the computation graph. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information from the memory, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 3.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/193282 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-26267
DESCRIPTION:   TensorFlow could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an out-of-bounds read flaw when validating the src_format and dst_format attributes by the tf.raw_ops.DataFormatVecPermute API. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information from the memory, or cause the system to crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/193278 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
