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. It is possible to trigger a null pointer dereference in TensorFlow by passing an invalid input to tf.raw_ops.CompressElement. The implementation was accessing the size of a buffer obtained from the return of a separate function call before validating that said buffer is valid.
