mihaimaruseac published GHSA-g4h2-gqm3-c9wq May 13, 2021

Package

pip tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (pip)

Affected versions

< 2.5.0

Patched versions

2.1.4, 2.2.3, 2.3.3, 2.4.2

Description

Impact

Calling tf.raw_ops.ImmutableConst with a dtype of tf.resource or tf.variant results in a segfault in the implementation as code assumes that the tensor contents are pure scalars.

>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> tf.raw_ops.ImmutableConst(dtype=tf.resource, shape=[], memory_region_name="/tmp/test.txt")
...
Segmentation fault

Patches

We have patched the issue in 4f663d4 and will release TensorFlow 2.5.0 containing the patch. TensorFlow nightly packages after this commit will also have the issue resolved.

Workarounds

If using tf.raw_ops.ImmutableConst in code, you can prevent the segfault by inserting a filter for the dtype argument.
