CVE-2021-37649
TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. The code for `tf.raw_ops.UncompressElement` can be made to trigger a null pointer dereference. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f24faa153ad31a4b51578f8181d3aaab77a1ddeb/tensorflow/core/kernels/data/experimental/compression_ops.cc#L50-L53) obtains a pointer to a `CompressedElement` from a `Variant` tensor and then proceeds to dereference it for decompressing. There is no check that the `Variant` tensor contained a `CompressedElement`, so the pointer is actually `nullptr`.

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 7bdf50bb4f5c54a4997c379092888546c97c3ebd. 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.

"value": "TensorFlow es una plataforma de código abierto de extremo a extremo para el aprendizaje automático. Un código para \"tf.raw_ops.UncompressElement\" se puede hacer parque podría desencadenar una desreferencia de puntero null. La [implementación](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f24faa153ad31a4b51578f8181d3aaab77a1ddeb/tensorflow/core/kernels/data/experimental/compression_ops.cc#L50-L53) obtiene un puntero a un \"CompressedElement\" desde un tensor \"Variant\" y luego procede a desreferenciarlo para descomprimirlo. No se comprueba que el tensor \"Variant\" contenga un \"CompressedElement\", por lo que el puntero es en realidad \"nullptr\". Hemos parcheado el problema en el commit 7bdf50bb4f5c54a4997c379092888546c97c3ebd de GitHub. La corrección se incluirá en TensorFlow 2.6.0.
