CVE-2020-15212
In TensorFlow Lite before versions 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, models using segment sum can trigger writes outside of bounds of heap allocated buffers by inserting negative elements in the segment ids tensor. Users having access to `segment_ids_data` can alter `output_index` and then write to outside of `output_data` buffer. This might result in a segmentation fault but it can also be used to further corrupt the memory and can be chained with other vulnerabilities to create more advanced exploits.

The issue is patched in commit 204945b19e44b57906c9344c0d00120eeeae178a and is released in TensorFlow versions 2.2.1, or 2.3.1. A potential workaround would be to add a custom `Verifier` to the model loading code to ensure that the segment ids are all positive, although this only handles the case when the segment ids are stored statically in the model. A similar validation could be done if the segment ids are generated at runtime between inference steps. If the segment ids are generated as outputs of a tensor during inference steps, then there are no possible workaround and users are advised to upgrade to patched code.

Una solución alternativa potencial sería agregar un \"Verifier\" personalizado al código de carga del modelo para asegurar que los ids de segmento sean todos positivos, aunque esto solo maneja el caso cuando los ids de segmento son almacenados estáticamente en el modelo. Una comprobación similar podría ser realizada si los ids de segmento se generan en el tiempo de ejecución entre los pasos de inferencia. Si los ids de segmento son generados como salidas de un tensor durante los pasos de inferencia, entonces no existe una posible solución alternativa y se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar al código parcheado"
