Descriptions

Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. When decoding a tensor from protobuf, TensorFlow might do a null-dereference if attributes of some mutable arguments to some operations are missing from the proto. This is guarded by a `DCHECK`. However, `DCHECK` is a no-op in production builds and an assertion failure in debug builds. In the first case execution proceeds to the dereferencing of the null pointer, whereas in the second case it results in a crash due to the assertion failure. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, and TensorFlow 2.6.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

Tensorflow es un Marco de Aprendizaje Automático de Código Abierto. Cuando es decodificado un tensor a partir de un protobuf, TensorFlow podría hacer una referencia nula si los atributos de algunos argumentos mutables de algunas operaciones faltan en el proto. Esto está protegido por un "DCHECK". Sin embargo, "DCHECK" es un no-op en las construcciones de producción y un fallo de aserción en las construcciones de depuración. En el primer caso la ejecución procede a una desreferenciación de puntero null, mientras que en el segundo caso resulta en un fallo debido a aserción. La corrección será incluida en TensorFlow versión 2.8.0. También seleccionaremos este commit en TensorFlow versión 2.7.1, y TensorFlow versión 2.6.3, ya que estos también están afectados y aún están en el rango admitido
