CVE-2022-23573: Uninitialized variable access in Tensorflow

February 9, 2022 (updated November 13, 2024)

The implementation of AssignOp can result in copying unitialized data to a new tensor. This later results in undefined behavior.

The implementation has a check that the left hand side of the assignment is initialized (to minimize number of allocations), but does not check that the right hand side is also initialized.
