Descriptions
TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. When a user does not supply arguments that determine a valid sparse tensor, `tf.raw_ops.SparseTensorSliceDataset` implementation can be made to dereference a null pointer. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/8d72537c6abf5a44103b57b9c2e22c14f5f49698/tensorflow/core/kernels/data/sparse_tensor_slice_dataset_op.cc#L240-L251) has some argument validation but fails to consider the case when either `indices` or `values` are provided for an empty sparse tensor when the other is not. If `indices` is empty, then [code that performs validation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/8d72537c6abf5a44103b57b9c2e22c14f5f49698/tensorflow/core/kernels/data/sparse_tensor_slice_dataset_op.cc#L260-L261) (i.e., checking that the indices are monotonically increasing) results in a null pointer dereference. If `indices` as provided by the user is empty, then `indices` in the C++ code above is backed by an empty `std::vector`, hence calling `indices->dim_size(0)` results in null pointer dereferencing (same as calling `std::vector::at()` on an empty vector). We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 02cc160e29d20631de3859c6653184e3f876b9d7. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, 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. Cuando un usuario no suministra argumentos que determinen un tensor disperso válido, la implementación "tf.raw_ops.SparseTensorSliceDataset" puede hacerse para derivar un puntero null. La [implementación](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/8d72537c6abf5a44103b57b9c2e22c14f5f49698/tensorflow/core/kernels/data/sparse_tensor_slice_dataset_op.cc#L240-L251) presenta alguna comprobación de argumentos, pero no considera el caso en el que o bien "indices" o bien "values" se proporcionan para un tensor disperso vacío cuando el otro no lo está. Si "indices" está vacío, entonces [código que lleva a cabo la comprobación](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/8d72537c6abf5a44103b57b9c2e22c14f5f49698/tensorflow/core/kernels/data/sparse_tensor_slice_dataset_op.cc#L260-L261) (es decir, la comprobación de que los índices son monotónicamente crecientes) resulta en una desreferencia de puntero null. Si "indices" tal y como lo proporciona el usuario está vacío, entonces "indices" en el código C++ anterior está respaldado por un "std::vector' vacío, por lo que llamar a "indices-)dim_size(0)" resulta en una desreferencia de puntero null (igual que llamar a "std::vector::at()" en un vector vacío). Hemos parcheado el problema en el commit de GitHub 02cc160e29d20631de3859c6653184e3f876b9d7. La corrección se incluirá en TensorFlow versión 2.6.0. También se incluirá este commit en TensorFlow versión 2.5.1, TensorFlow versión 2.4.3 y TensorFlow versión 2.3.4, ya que estos también están afectados y todavía están en el rango de soporte.
