TFSA-2020-025: Undefined behavior in dlpack.to_dlpack

CVE Number

CVE-2020-15191

Impact

If a user passes an invalid argument to dlpack.to_dlpack the expected validations will cause variables to bind to nullptr while setting a status variable to the error condition.

However, this status argument is not properly checked:

  dlm_tensor->dl_tensor.data = TFE_TensorHandleDevicePointer(h, status);
  dlm_tensor->dl_tensor.dtype = GetDlDataType(data_type, status);

Hence, code following these methods will bind references to null pointers:

  dlm_tensor->dl_tensor.shape = &(*shape_arr)[0];
  dlm_tensor->dl_tensor.strides = &(*stride_arr)[0];

This is undefined behavior and reported as an error if compiling with -fsanitize=null.

Vulnerable Versions
