CVE-2020-15204: Segfault in Tensorflow
(updated )
In eager mode, TensorFlow does not set the session state. Hence, calling tf.raw_ops.GetSessionHandle or tf.raw_ops.GetSessionHandleV2 results in a null pointer dereference:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/core/kernels/session_ops.cc#L45
In the above snippet, in eager mode, ctx->session_state() returns nullptr. Since code immediately dereferences this, we get a segmentation fault.
