{"cve":"CVE-2021-29547","nvd":{"published":"2021-05-14T20:15:12.763","modified":"2026-06-17T03:47:53.097","status":"Modified","description":"TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. An attacker can cause a segfault and denial of service via accessing data outside of bounds in `tf.raw_ops.QuantizedBatchNormWithGlobalNormalization`. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/55a97caa9e99c7f37a0bbbeb414dc55553d3ae7f/tensorflow/core/kernels/quantized_batch_norm_op.cc#L176-L189) assumes the inputs are not empty. If any of these inputs is empty, `.flat<T>()` is an empty buffer, so accessing the element at index 0 is accessing data outside of bounds. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-125"],"references":["https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/d6ed5bcfe1dcab9e85a4d39931bd18d99018e75b","https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/security/advisories/GHSA-4fg4-p75j-w5xj","https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/d6ed5bcfe1dcab9e85a4d39931bd18d99018e75b","https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/security/advisories/GHSA-4fg4-p75j-w5xj"],"products":["google:tensorflow"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:18:09.669877188+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2021-29547","score":0.00189,"percentile":0.08572,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-4fg4-p75j-w5xj","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-4fg4-p75j-w5xj","summary":"Heap out of bounds in `QuantizedBatchNormWithGlobalNormalization`","modified":"2026-07-08T06:28:03.882978167Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow","ranges":["<2.1.4"],"fixed":["2.1.4"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow","ranges":[">=2.2.0 <2.2.3"],"fixed":["2.2.3"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow","ranges":[">=2.3.0 <2.3.3"],"fixed":["2.3.3"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow","ranges":[">=2.4.0 <2.4.2"],"fixed":["2.4.2"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-cpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-cpu","ranges":["<2.1.4"],"fixed":["2.1.4"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-cpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-cpu","ranges":[">=2.2.0 <2.2.3"],"fixed":["2.2.3"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-cpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-cpu","ranges":[">=2.3.0 <2.3.3"],"fixed":["2.3.3"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-cpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-cpu","ranges":[">=2.4.0 <2.4.2"],"fixed":["2.4.2"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-gpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-gpu","ranges":["<2.1.4"],"fixed":["2.1.4"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-gpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-gpu","ranges":[">=2.2.0 <2.2.3"],"fixed":["2.2.3"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-gpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-gpu","ranges":[">=2.3.0 <2.3.3"],"fixed":["2.3.3"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-gpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-gpu","ranges":[">=2.4.0 <2.4.2"],"fixed":["2.4.2"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2021-184","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2021-184","summary":"","modified":"2023-12-06T01:01:05.322148Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow","ranges":["<2.2.0rc0",">=2.2.0 <2.3.0rc0",">=2.3.0 <2.3.4",">=2.4.0 <2.4.3"],"fixed":["2.2.0rc0","2.3.0rc0","2.3.4","2.4.3"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2021-475","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2021-475","summary":"","modified":"2023-12-06T01:01:05.322148Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-cpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-cpu","ranges":["<2.2.0rc0",">=2.2.0 <2.3.0rc0",">=2.3.0 <2.3.4",">=2.4.0 <2.4.3"],"fixed":["2.2.0rc0","2.3.0rc0","2.3.4","2.4.3"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2021-673","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2021-673","summary":"","modified":"2023-12-06T01:01:05.322148Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-gpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-gpu","ranges":["<2.2.0rc0",">=2.2.0 <2.3.0rc0",">=2.3.0 <2.3.4",">=2.4.0 <2.4.3"],"fixed":["2.2.0rc0","2.3.0rc0","2.3.4","2.4.3"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
