{"cve":"CVE-2021-37663","nvd":{"published":"2021-08-12T23:15:07.233","modified":"2026-06-17T04:00:56.053","status":"Modified","description":"TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions due to incomplete validation in `tf.raw_ops.QuantizeV2`, an attacker can trigger undefined behavior via binding a reference to a null pointer or can access data outside the bounds of heap allocated arrays. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/84d053187cb80d975ef2b9684d4b61981bca0c41/tensorflow/core/kernels/quantize_op.cc#L59) has some validation but does not check that `min_range` and `max_range` both have the same non-zero number of elements. If `axis` is provided (i.e., not `-1`), then validation should check that it is a value in range for the rank of `input` tensor and then the lengths of `min_range` and `max_range` inputs match the `axis` dimension of the `input` tensor. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 6da6620efad397c85493b8f8667b821403516708. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, 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:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-20"],"references":["https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/6da6620efad397c85493b8f8667b821403516708","https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/security/advisories/GHSA-g25h-jr74-qp5j","https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/6da6620efad397c85493b8f8667b821403516708","https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/security/advisories/GHSA-g25h-jr74-qp5j"],"products":["google:tensorflow"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:21:57.125947417+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2021-37663","score":0.00173,"percentile":0.06791,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-g25h-jr74-qp5j","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-g25h-jr74-qp5j","summary":"Incomplete validation in `QuantizeV2`","modified":"2026-07-08T06:28:29.678876386Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow","ranges":["<2.3.4"],"fixed":["2.3.4"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow","ranges":[">=2.4.0 <2.4.3"],"fixed":["2.4.3"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow","ranges":[">=2.5.0 <2.5.1"],"fixed":["2.5.1"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-cpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-cpu","ranges":["<2.3.4"],"fixed":["2.3.4"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-cpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-cpu","ranges":[">=2.4.0 <2.4.3"],"fixed":["2.4.3"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-cpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-cpu","ranges":[">=2.5.0 <2.5.1"],"fixed":["2.5.1"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-gpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-gpu","ranges":["<2.3.4"],"fixed":["2.3.4"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-gpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-gpu","ranges":[">=2.4.0 <2.4.3"],"fixed":["2.4.3"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-gpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-gpu","ranges":[">=2.5.0 <2.5.1"],"fixed":["2.5.1"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2021-285","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2021-285","summary":"","modified":"2023-12-06T01:01:22.932027Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow","ranges":[">=2.3.0 <2.3.4",">=2.4.0 <2.4.3"],"fixed":["2.3.4","2.4.3"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2021-576","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2021-576","summary":"","modified":"2023-12-06T01:01:22.932027Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-cpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-cpu","ranges":[">=2.3.0 <2.3.4",">=2.4.0 <2.4.3"],"fixed":["2.3.4","2.4.3"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2021-774","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2021-774","summary":"","modified":"2023-12-06T01:01:22.932027Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"tensorflow-gpu","purl":"pkg:pypi/tensorflow-gpu","ranges":[">=2.3.0 <2.3.4",">=2.4.0 <2.4.3"],"fixed":["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).
