GHSA-P59W-R597-MMWF
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-01 15:31 – Updated: 2025-05-07 15:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix wrong reg type conversion in release_reference()
Some helper functions will allocate memory. To avoid memory leaks, the verifier requires the eBPF program to release these memories by calling the corresponding helper functions.
When a resource is released, all pointer registers corresponding to the resource should be invalidated. The verifier use release_references() to do this job, by apply __mark_reg_unknown() to each relevant register.
It will give these registers the type of SCALAR_VALUE. A register that will contain a pointer value at runtime, but of type SCALAR_VALUE, which may allow the unprivileged user to get a kernel pointer by storing this register into a map.
Using __mark_reg_not_init() while NOT allow_ptr_leaks can mitigate this problem.

GHSA-PF36-R9C6-H97J
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-11-21 22:18 – Updated: 2022-11-21 22:18Impact
When printing a tensor, we get it's data as a const char* array (since that's the underlying storage) and then we typecast it to the element type. However, conversions from char to bool are undefined if the char is not 0 or 1, so sanitizers/fuzzers will crash.
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 1be743703279782a357adbf9b77dcb994fe8b508.
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.10.1, TensorFlow 2.9.3, and TensorFlow 2.8.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
For more information
Please consult our security guide for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions.
