Summary
Deadlock in mutually recursive `tf.function` objects
Details

Impact

The code behind tf.function API can be made to deadlock when two tf.function decorated Python functions are mutually recursive:

```python import tensorflow as tf

@tf.function()
def fun1(num): if num == 1: return print(num) fun2(num-1)

@tf.function() def fun2(num): if num == 0: return print(num) fun1(num-1)

fun1(9) ```

This occurs due to using a non-reentrant Lock Python object.

Loading any model which contains mutually recursive functions is vulnerable. An attacker can cause denial of service by causing users to load such models and calling a recursive tf.function, although this is not a frequent scenario.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit afac8158d43691661ad083f6dd9e56f327c1dcb7.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
