How to fix?

Upgrade tensorflow-gpu to version 2.8.1, 2.9.0 or higher.

Overview

tensorflow-gpu is a machine learning framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow. The TensorKey hash function used total estimated AllocatedBytes(), which (a) is an estimate per tensor, and (b) is a very poor hash function for constants (e.g. int32_t). It also access individual tensor bytes through tensor.data() of size AllocatedBytes(). This behavior results in ASAN failures because the AllocatedBytes() is an estimate of total bytes allocated by a tensor, including any pointed-to constructs (e.g. strings), and does not refer to contiguous bytes in the .data() buffer.
