Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions TensorFlow versions prior to 2.12.0 TensorFlow versions prior to 2.11.1

Description The issue occurs when SparseSparseMaximum is given invalid sparse tensors as inputs, resulting in a null pointer error. This is a problem in the TensorFlow open source platform for machine learning.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.12.0, update to TensorFlow version 2.12 or later. For versions prior to 2.11.1, update to TensorFlow version 2.11.1 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of SparseSparseMaximum with invalid sparse tensors until a patch is applied.
