Overview

tensorflow-cpu is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Externally-Controlled Format String. By controlling the fill argument of tf.strings.as_string, a malicious attacker is able to trigger a format string vulnerability due to the way the internal format use in a printf call is constructed: Passing in n or s can here result in a segmentation fault.
