How to fix?

Upgrade tensorflow to version 2.5.1, 2.4.3, 2.3.4 or higher.

Overview

tensorflow is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference. An attacker can cause undefined behavior via binding a reference to null pointer in all operations of type tf.raw_ops.MatrixSetDiagV*. The implementation has incomplete validation that the value of k is a valid tensor. We have check that this value is either a scalar or a vector, but there is no check for the number of elements. If this is an empty tensor, then code that accesses the first element of the tensor is wrong.
