Incomplete validation in `SparseReshape` results in a denial of service based on a `CHECK`-failure. The implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/e87b51ce05c3eb172065a6ea5f48415854223285/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse_reshape_op.cc#L40) has no validation that the input arguments specify a valid sparse tensor. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2 and TensorFlow 2.3.3, as these are the only affected versions.","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-20","CWE-665"],"references":["https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/1d04d7d93f4ed3854abf75d6b712d72c3f70d6b6","https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/security/advisories/GHSA-9rpc-5v9q-5r7f","https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/1d04d7d93f4ed3854abf75d6b712d72c3f70d6b6","https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/security/advisories/GHSA-9rpc-5v9q-5r7f"],"products":["google:tensorflow"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:18:09.669877188+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2021-29611","score":0.00202,"percentile":0.10147,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-9rpc-5v9q-5r7f","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9rpc-5v9q-5r7f","summary":"Incomplete validation in `SparseReshape`","modified":"2026-07-08T06:00:58.579846258Z","packages":[{"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":[">=2.3.0 <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":[">=2.3.0 <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-2021-248","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2021-248","summary":"","modified":"2023-12-06T01:01:09.307960Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow","ranges":["<2.1.4",">=2.2.0 <2.2.3",">=2.3.0 <2.3.3",">=2.4.0 <2.4.2"],"fixed":["2.1.4","2.2.3","2.3.3","2.4.2"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2021-539","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2021-539","summary":"","modified":"2023-12-06T01:01:09.307960Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-cpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-cpu","ranges":["<2.1.4",">=2.2.0 <2.2.3",">=2.3.0 <2.3.3",">=2.4.0 <2.4.2"],"fixed":["2.1.4","2.2.3","2.3.3","2.4.2"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2021-737","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2021-737","summary":"","modified":"2023-12-06T01:01:09.307960Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-gpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-gpu","ranges":["<2.1.4",">=2.2.0 <2.2.3",">=2.3.0 <2.3.3",">=2.4.0 <2.4.2"],"fixed":["2.1.4","2.2.3","2.3.3","2.4.2"]}]}],"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).
