CVE-2020-15203

Advisory

Tensorflow versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.1 include a fix for CVE-2020-15203: In Tensorflow before versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, by controlling the 'fill' argument of tf.strings.as_string, a malicious attacker is able to trigger a format string vulnerability due to the way the internal format use in a 'printf' call is constructed. This may result in segmentation fault.
