The implementation of SparseTensorSliceDataset
has an undefined behavior: under certain condition it can be made to dereference a nullptr
value:
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
tf.raw_ops.SparseTensorSliceDataset(
indices=[[]],
values=[],
dense_shape=[1,1])
The 3 input arguments represent a sparse tensor. However, there are some preconditions that these arguments must satisfy but these are not validated in the implementation.
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 965b97e4a9650495cda5a8c210ef6684b4b9eceb.
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
