Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in tf.raw_ops.QuantizeAndDequantizeV4Grad when processing crafted input tensors. A remote attacker can supply input_min and input_max tensors with an invalid rank to cause a denial of service.
The issue is triggered by a CHECK failure when the operation passes non-1-dimensional tensors to vec().
