GitHub Security Advisory

TensorFlow has Null Pointer Error in SparseSparseMaximum

✓ GitHub Reviewed HIGH Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Impact
When `SparseSparseMaximum` is given invalid sparse tensors as inputs, it can give an NPE.

```python
import tensorflow as tf
tf.raw_ops.SparseSparseMaximum(
a_indices=[[1]],
a_values =[ 0.1 ],
a_shape = [2],
b_indices=[[]],
b_values =[2 ],
b_shape = [2],
)
```

### Patches
