DescriptionNVD

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. Sending invalid argument for row_partition_types of tf.raw_ops.RaggedTensorToTensor API results in a null pointer dereference and undefined behavior. The implementation accesses the first element of a user supplied list of values without validating that the provided list is not empty. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 301ae88b331d37a2a16159b65b255f4f9eb39314. 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.

AnalysisAI

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability could allow attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476), which allows attackers to crash the application by dereferencing a null pointer. TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. Sending invalid argument for row_partition_types of tf.raw_ops.RaggedTensorToTensor API results in a null pointer dereference and undefined behavior. The implementation accesses the first element of a user supplied list of values without validating that the provided list is not empty.

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. Affected products include: Google Tensorflow.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Check pointers before dereferencing. Use static analysis tools to detect null pointer paths.
