TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. An attacker can trigger a null pointer dereference by providing an invalid `permutation` to `tf.raw_ops.SparseMatrixSparseCholesky`. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/080f1d9e257589f78b3ffb75debf584168aa6062/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse/sparse_cholesky_op.cc#L85-L86) fails to properly validate the input arguments. Although `ValidateInputs` is called and there are checks in the body of this function, the code proceeds to the next line in `ValidateInputs` since `OP_REQUIRES`(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/080f1d9e257589f78b3ffb75debf584168aa6062/tensorflow/core/framework/op_requires.h#L41-L48) is a macro that only exits the current function. Thus, the first validation condition that fails in `ValidateInputs` will cause an early return from that function. However, the caller will continue execution from the next line. The fix is to either explicitly check `context->status()` or to convert `ValidateInputs` to return a `Status`. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

### Impact An attacker can trigger a null pointer dereference by providing an invalid `permutation` to `tf.raw_ops.SparseMatrixSparseCholesky`:

```python import tensorflow as tf import numpy as np from tensorflow.python.ops.linalg.sparse import sparse_csr_matrix_ops

indices_array = np.array([[0, 0]]) value_array = np.array([-10.0], dtype=np.float32) dense_shape = [1, 1] st = tf.SparseTensor(indices_array, value_array, dense_shape)

input = sparse_csr_matrix_ops.sparse_tensor_to_csr_sparse_matrix( st.indices, st.values, st.dense_shape)

permutation = tf.constant([], shape=[1, 0], dtype=tf.int32) tf.raw_ops.SparseMatrixSparseCholesky(input=input, permutation=permutation, type=tf.float32) ```

This is because the [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/080f1d9e257589f78b3ffb75debf584168aa6062/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse/sparse_cholesky_op.cc#L85-L86) fails to properly validate the input arguments: ```cc void Compute(OpKernelContext* ctx) final { ... const Tensor& input_permutation_indices = ctx->input(1); ... ValidateInputs(ctx, *input_matrix, input_permutation_indices, &batch_size, &num_rows); ... }

void ValidateInputs(OpKernelContext* ctx, const CSRSparseMatrix& sparse_matrix, const Tensor& permutation_indices, int* batch_size, int64* num_rows) { OP_REQUIRES(ctx, sparse_matrix.dtype() == DataTypeToEnum<T>::value, ...) ... } ``` Although `ValidateInputs` is called and there are checks…
