CVE-2021-37648

En las versiones afectadas el c\u00f3digo para \"tf.raw_ops.SaveV2\" no comprueba correctamente las entradas y un atacante puede desencadenar una desreferencia de puntero null.

Esta comprobaci\u00f3n habr\u00eda comprendido el estado ilegal representado por el reproductor anterior. Sin embargo, la comprobaci\u00f3n usa \"OP_REQUIRES\" que se traduce en establecer el objeto \"Status\" del actual \"OpKernelContext\" a un estado de error, seguido de una sentencia \"return\" vac\u00eda que simplemente termina la ejecuci\u00f3n de la funci\u00f3n en la que est\u00e1 presente.
