How to fix?

Upgrade tensorflow-cpu to version 2.5.3, 2.6.3, 2.7.1 or higher.

Overview

tensorflow-cpu is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference during the process of decoding a tensor from protobuf. If attributes of some mutable arguments to some operations are missing from the proto a null pointer dereference occurs. This should be taken care of by a DCHECK, however, DCHECK is a no-op in production builds and an assertion failure in debug builds. In the first case execution proceeds to the dereferencing of the null pointer, whereas in the second case it results in a crash due to the assertion failure.
