If a user passes an invalid argument to dlpack.to_dlpack
the expected validations will cause variables to bind to nullptr
while setting a status
variable to the error condition.
However, this status
argument is not properly checked:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc#L265-L267
Hence, code following these methods will bind references to null pointers: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/c/eager/dlpack.cc#L279-L285
This is undefined behavior and reported as an error if compiling with -fsanitize=null
.
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.
