Overview

tensorflow is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uninitialized Memory Exposure. If a user passes a list of strings to dlpack.to_dlpack there is a memory leak following an expected validation failure. The issue occurs because the status argument during validation failures is not properly checked.
