mediumvulnerability
security
Summary
CVE-2020-26267 is a vulnerability in TensorFlow where the tf.raw_ops.DataFormatVecPermute API (a function for converting data format layout) fails to check the src_format and dst_format inputs, leading to uninitialized memory accesses (using memory that hasn't been set to a known value), out-of-bounds reads (accessing data outside intended boundaries), and potential crashes. The vulnerability was patched across multiple TensorFlow versions.
Solution / Mitigation
This is fixed in versions 1.15.5, 2.0.4, 2.1.3, 2.2.2, 2.3.2, and 2.4.0.
