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 NULL Pointer Dereference. In eager mode, TensorFlow does not set the session state. Hence, calling tf.raw_ops.GetSessionHandle or tf.raw_ops.GetSessionHandleV2 results in a null pointer dereferenceIn linked snippet, in eager mode, ctx->session_state() returns nullptr. Since code immediately dereferences this, we get a segmentation fault.
