It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-29518 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- tensorflow (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.4, 2.2.3, 2.3.3, 2.4.2\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.4, 2.2.3, 2.3.3, 2.4.2\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.4\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.4\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.2.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.2.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.3.0; fixed in 2.3.3\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.2\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.2\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.4, 2.2.3, 2.3.3, 2.4.2\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.1.4\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29518/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29518/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-29518","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-29518/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-29518","record":{"aliases":["BIT-tensorflow-2021-29518","GHSA-62gx-355r-9fhg","PYSEC-2021-155","PYSEC-2021-446","PYSEC-2021-644"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TensorFlow machine learning library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via null pointer dereference in TensorFlow eager mode by calling invalid session operations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"tensorflow","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":2.5,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. In eager mode (default in TF 2.0 and later), session operations are invalid. However, users could still call the raw ops associated with them and trigger a null pointer dereference. The implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/eebb96c2830d48597d055d247c0e9aebaea94cd5/tensorflow/core/kernels/session_ops.cc#L104) dereferences the session state pointer without checking if it is valid. Thus, in eager mode, `ctx-\u003esession_state()` is nullptr and the call of the member function is undefined behavior. The 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
