CVE-2022-21736: Undefined behavior in `SparseTensorSliceDataset`

February 9, 2022 (updated November 13, 2024)

The implementation of SparseTensorSliceDataset has an undefined behavior: under certain condition it can be made to dereference a nullptr value:

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np

tf.raw_ops.SparseTensorSliceDataset(
indices=[[]],
values=[],
dense_shape=[1,1])

The 3 input arguments represent a sparse tensor. However, there are some preconditions that these arguments must satisfy but these are not validated in the implementation.
