CVE-2020-15193: Memory corruption in Tensorflow

September 25, 2020 (updated October 28, 2024)

The implementation of dlpack.to_dlpack can be made to use uninitialized memory resulting in further memory corruption. This is because the pybind11 glue code assumes that the argument is a tensor: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/python/tfe_wrapper.cc#L1361

However, there is nothing stopping users from passing in a Python object instead of a tensor.

In [2]: tf.experimental.dlpack.to_dlpack([2])
==1720623==WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value
