How to fix?

Overview

tensorflow-cpu is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uninitialized Memory Exposure. If a user passes a list of strings to dlpack.to_dlpack there is a memory leak following an expected validation failure.The issue occurs because the status argument during validation failures is not properly checked.Since each of the above methods can return an error status, the status value must be checked before continuing.
