QID 982461: Python (pip) Security Update for tensorflow (GHSA-jjr8-m8g8-p6wv)

Security update has been released for tensorflow to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The fix for [CVE-2020-15209](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-15209) missed the case when the target shape of `Reshape` operator is given by the elements of a 1-D tensor. As such, the [fix for the vulnerability](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/9c1dc920d8ffb4893d6c9d27d1f039607b326743/tensorflow/lite/core/subgraph.cc#L1062-L1074) allowed passing a null-buffer-backed tensor with a 1D shape:

```cc
if (tensor->data.raw == nullptr && tensor->bytes > 0) {
if (registration.builtin_code == kTfLiteBuiltinReshape && i == 1) {
// In general, having a tensor here with no buffer will be an error.
// However, for the reshape operator, the second input tensor is only
// used for the shape, not for the data. Thus, null buffer is ok.
continue;
} else {
// In all other cases, we need to return an error as otherwise we will
// trigger a null pointer dereference (likely).
ReportError("Input tensor %d lacks data", tensor_index);
return kTfLiteError;
}
}
```

  • CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.8 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 4.6 severity.
  • Solution
    We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [f8378920345f4f4604202d4ab15ef64b2aceaa16](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/f8378920345f4f4604202d4ab15ef64b2aceaa16).

    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.
