CVE-2020-15194  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-122  (opens in a new tab)
First added by Snyk

How to fix?

Upgrade tensorflow-cpu to version 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1, 2.3.1 or higher.

Overview

tensorflow-cpu is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow. The SparseFillEmptyRowsGrad implementation has incomplete validation of the shapes of its arguments: Although reverse_index_map_t and grad_values_t are accessed in a similar pattern, only reverse_index_map_t is validated to be of proper shape. Hence, malicious users can pass a bad grad_values_t to trigger an assertion failure in vec, causing denial of service in serving installations. This vulnerability is a variant of CVE-2020-15195.
