CVE-2020-15192: Memory leak in Tensorflow

September 25, 2020 (updated October 28, 2024)

If a user passes a list of strings to dlpack.to_dlpack there is a memory leak following an expected validation failure: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc#L100-L104

The allocated memory is from https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc#L256

The issue occurs because the status argument during validation failures is not properly checked: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc#L265-L267

Since each of the above methods can return an error status, the status value must be checked before continuing.
