How to fix?

Upgrade tensorflow-cpu to version 2.7.2, 2.8.1, 2.9.1 or higher.

Overview

tensorflow-cpu is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference when mlir::tfg::ConvertGenericFunctionToFunctionDef is given empty function attributes.

PoC

// Import the function attributes with a `tf.` prefix to match the current
// infrastructure expectations.
for (const auto& namedAttr : func.attr()) {
  const std::string& name = "tf." + namedAttr.first;
  const AttrValue& tf_attr = namedAttr.second;
  TF_ASSIGN_OR_RETURN(Attribute attr,
                      ConvertAttributeValue(tf_attr, builder, tfgDialect));
  attrs.append(name, attr);
}
