Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2023-25801
**DESCRIPTION:**TensorFlow could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a double-free in nn_ops.fractional_avg_pool_v2 and nn_ops.fractional_max_pool_v2. By sending a specially-crafted request using the pooling_ratio parameter, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
