How to fix?

Upgrade tensorflow to version 2.3.1 or higher.

Overview

tensorflow is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow. The RaggedCountSparseOutput implementation does not validate that the input arguments form a valid ragged tensor. In particular, there is no validation that the values in the splits tensor generate a valid partitioning of the values tensor. Hence, the code is prone to heap buffer overflow.If split_values does not end with a value at least num_values then the while loop condition will trigger a read outside of the bounds of split_values once batch_idx grows too large.
