Descriptions

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions an attacker can read from outside of bounds of heap allocated data by sending specially crafted illegal arguments to `BoostedTreesSparseCalculateBestFeatureSplit`. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/84d053187cb80d975ef2b9684d4b61981bca0c41/tensorflow/core/kernels/boosted_trees/stats_ops.cc) needs to validate that each value in `stats_summary_indices` is in range. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit e84c975313e8e8e38bb2ea118196369c45c51378. 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. En las versiones afectadas, un atacante puede leer fuera de límites de los datos asignados a la pila mediante el envío de argumentos ilegales especialmente diseñados a "BoostedTreesSparseCalculateBestFeatureSplit". La [implementación](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/84d053187cb80d975ef2b9684d4b61981bca0c41/tensorflow/core/kernels/boosted_trees/stats_ops.cc) necesita comprender que cada valor en "stats_summary_indices" está en el rango. Hemos parcheado el problema en el commit e84c975313e8e8e38bb2ea118196369c45c51378 de GitHub. La corrección será incluida en TensorFlow versión 2.6.0. También seleccionaremos 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.
