A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Google TensorFlow up to 2.3.3/2.4.2/2.5.0 (Artificial Intelligence Software). This issue affects the function tf.raw_ops.CompressElement. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-476. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. It is possible to trigger a null pointer dereference in TensorFlow by passing an invalid input to `tf.raw_ops.CompressElement`. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/47a06f40411a69c99f381495f490536972152ac0/tensorflow/core/data/compression_utils.cc#L34) was accessing the size of a buffer obtained from the return of a separate function call before validating that said buffer is valid. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 5dc7f6981fdaf74c8c5be41f393df705841fb7c5. 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.
