CVE-2020-26270

Advisory

Tensorflow versions 1.15.5, 2.0.4, 2.1.3, 2.2.2, 2.3.2 and 2.4.0 includes a fix for CVE-2020-26270: In affected versions, running an LSTM/GRU model where the LSTM/GRU layer receives an input with zero-length results in a CHECK failure when using the CUDA backend. This can result in a query-of-death vulnerability, via denial of service, if users can control the input to the layer.
