CVE-2021-37661

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions an attacker can cause a denial of service in boosted_trees_create_quantile_stream_resource by using negative arguments. The implementation does not validate that num_streams only contains non-negative numbers. In turn, this results in using this value to allocate memory. However, reserve receives an unsigned integer so there is an implicit conversion from a negative value to a large positive unsigned. This results in a crash from the standard library. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 8a84f7a2b5a2b27ecf88d25bad9ac777cd2f7992. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2
