CVE-2021-41226
CVE-2021-41226
Description
TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions the implementation of SparseBinCount is vulnerable to a heap OOB access. This is because of missing validation between the elements of the values argument and the shape of the sparse output. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
