Description
Impact
If a user does not provide a valid padding value to `tf.raw_ops.MatrixDiagPartOp`, then the code triggers a null pointer dereference (if input is empty) or produces invalid behavior, ignoring all values after the first:
```python
import tensorflow as tf
tf.raw_ops.MatrixDiagPartV2(
input=tf.ones(2,dtype=tf.int32),
k=tf.ones(2,dtype=tf.int32),
padding_value=[])
```
Although this example is given for `MatrixDiagPartV2`, all versions of the operation are affected.
The implementation reads the first value from a tensor buffer without first checking that the tensor has values to read from.
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 482da92095c4d48f8784b1f00dda4f81c28d2988.
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.
