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-2021-41208 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- tensorflow (Bitnami): affected from 2.4.0; 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-2021-41208/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-41208/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-41208","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-41208/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-41208","record":{"aliases":["BIT-tensorflow-2021-41208","GHSA-57wx-m983-2f88","PYSEC-2021-400","PYSEC-2021-617","PYSEC-2021-815"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TensorFlow machine learning library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service and read/write heap memory via null pointer dereferences in TensorFlow's boosted trees implementation.","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":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-824","name":"Access of Uninitialized Pointer"},{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions the code for boosted trees in TensorFlow is still missing validation. As a result, attackers can trigger denial of service (via dereferencing `nullptr`s or via `CHECK`-failures) as well as abuse undefined behavior (binding references to `nullptr`s). An attacker can also read and write from heap buffers, depending on the API that gets used and the arguments that are passed to the call. Given that the boosted trees implementation in TensorFlow is unmaintained, it is recommend to no longer use these APIs. We will deprecate TensorFlow's boosted trees APIs in subsequent releases. 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
