Description
Impact
If a user passes a list of strings to `dlpack.to_dlpack` there is a memory leak following an expected validation failure:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc#L100-L104
The allocated memory is from
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc#L256
The issue occurs because the `status` argument during validation failures is not properly checked:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc#L265-L267
Since each of the above methods can return an error status, the `status` value must be checked before continuing.
Patches
We have patched the issue in 22e07fb204386768e5bcbea563641ea11f96ceb8 and will release a patch release for all affected versions.
We recommend users to upgrade to TensorFlow 2.2.1 or 2.3.1.
