CVE-2021-41228 Information

Description

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions TensorFlow’s saved_model_cli tool is vulnerable to a code injection as it calls eval on user supplied strings. This can be used by attackers to run arbitrary code on the plaform where the CLI tool runs. However given that the tool is always run manually the impact of this is not severe. We have patched this by adding a safe flag which defaults to True and an explicit warning for users. 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 range.
