Description

Impact The implementation of `dlpack.to_dlpack` can be made to use uninitialized memory resulting in further memory corruption. This is because the pybind11 glue code assumes that the argument is a tensor: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/python/tfe_wrapper.cc#L1361 However, there is nothing stopping users from passing in a Python object instead of a tensor. ```python In [2]: tf.experimental.dlpack.to_dlpack([2]) ==1720623==WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value #0 0x55b0ba5c410a in tensorflow::(anonymous namespace)::GetTensorFromHandle(TFE_TensorHandle*, TF_Status*) third_party/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc:46:7 #1 0x55b0ba5c38f4 in tensorflow::TFE_HandleToDLPack(TFE_TensorHandle*, TF_Status*) third_party/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc:252:26 ... ``` The uninitialized memory address is due to a `reinterpret_cast` https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/python/eager/pywrap_tensor.cc#L848-L850 Since the `PyObject` is a Python object, not a TensorFlow Tensor, the cast to `EagerTensor` fails. 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. For more information Please consult our security guide for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions.
