NULL Pointer Dereference

CVE-2021-29513

High
7.8/10

Summary

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. On versions before 2.1.4, 2.2.0 through 2.2.2, 2.3.0 through 2.3.2, 2.4.0 through 2.4.1, calling TF operations with tensors of non-numeric types when the operations expect numeric tensors result in null pointer dereferences. The conversion from Python array to C++ array(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/ff70c47a396ef1e3cb73c90513da4f5cb71bebba/tensorflow/python/lib/core/ndarray_tensor.cc#L113-L169) is vulnerable to a type confusion.
