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-2021-41201 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- tensorflow (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.4, 2.5.2, 2.6.1\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.4, 2.5.2, 2.6.1, 2.7.0\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.4\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.4\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.5.0; fixed in 2.5.2\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.5.0; fixed in 2.5.2\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.6.0; fixed in 2.6.1\n- tensorflow (PyPI): affected from 2.6.0; fixed in 2.6.1\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.4, 2.5.2, 2.6.1, 2.7.0\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.4\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 2.4.4\n- tensorflow-cpu (PyPI): affected from 2.5.0; fixed in 2.5.2\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-2021-41201/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-41201/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-41201","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-41201/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-41201","record":{"aliases":["BIT-tensorflow-2021-41201","GHSA-j86v-p27c-73fm","PYSEC-2021-394","PYSEC-2021-611","PYSEC-2021-809"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TensorFlow machine learning library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An uninitialized variable access in TensorFlow's EinsumHelper can lead to undefined behavior during execution, requiring an upgrade to patched versions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"tensorflow","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-824","name":"Access of Uninitialized Pointer"}],"description":"TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. In affeced versions during execution, `EinsumHelper::ParseEquation()` is supposed to set the flags in `input_has_ellipsis` vector and `*output_has_ellipsis` boolean to indicate whether there is ellipsis in the corresponding inputs and output. However, the code only changes these flags to `true` and never assigns `false`. This results in unitialized variable access if callers assume that `EinsumHelper::ParseEquation()` always sets these flags. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in supported
