Overview

tensorflow-cpu 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.
