Descriptions

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. The implementation of `tf.raw_ops.MaxPoolGrad` is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. The implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/ab1e644b48c82cb71493f4362b4dd38f4577a1cf/tensorflow/core/kernels/maxpooling_op.cc#L194-L203) fails to validate that indices used to access elements of input/output arrays are valid. Whereas accesses to `input_backprop_flat` are guarded by `FastBoundsCheck`, the indexing in `out_backprop_flat` can result in OOB access. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

TensorFlow es una plataforma de código abierto de extremo a extremo para el aprendizaje automático. La implementación de "tf.raw_ops.MaxPoolGrad" es vulnerable a un desbordamiento del búfer de la pila. La implementación (https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/ab1e644b48c82cb71493f4362b4dd38f4577a1cf/tensorflow/core/kernels/maxpooling_op.cc#L194-L203) no comprueba que los índices usados para acceder a elementos de matrices de entrada y salida sean válidos. Mientras que los accesos a `input_backprop_flat` están protegidos por `FastBoundsCheck`, la indexación en "out_backprop_flat" puede resultar en acceso OOB. La corrección será incluida en TensorFlow versión 2.5.0. También seleccionaremos este compromiso en TensorFlow versión 2.4.2, TensorFlow versión 2.3.3, TensorFlow versión 2.2.3 y TensorFlow versión 2.1.4, ya que estos también están afectados y aún están en el rango admitido
