TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. An input `encoded` that is not a valid `CompositeTensorVariant` tensor will trigger a segfault in `tf.raw_ops.CompositeTensorVariantToComponents`. We have patched the issue in GitHub commits bf594d08d377dc6a3354d9fdb494b32d45f91971 and 660ce5a89eb6766834bdc303d2ab3902aef99d3d. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and TensorFlow 2.8.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. An input `encoded` that is not a valid `CompositeTensorVariant` tensor will trigger a segfault in `tf.raw_ops.CompositeTensorVariantToComponents`. We have patched the issue in GitHub commits bf594d08d377dc6a3354d9fdb494b32d45f91971 and 660ce5a89eb6766834bdc303d2ab3902aef99d3d. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11.

### Impact
An input `encoded` that is not a valid `CompositeTensorVariant` tensor will trigger a segfault in [`tf.raw_ops.CompositeTensorVariantToComponents`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/python/lib/core/py_func.cc).
```python
import tensorflow as tf
encode = tf.raw_ops.EmptyTensorList(element_dtype=tf.int32, element_shape=[10, 15], max_num_elements=2)
meta= ""
component=[tf.int32]
print(tf.raw_ops.CompositeTensorVariantToComponents(encoded=encode,metadata=meta,Tcomponents=component))
```
### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commits [bf594d08d377dc6a3354d9fdb494b32d45f91971](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/bf594d08d377dc6a3354d9fdb494b32d45f91971) and [660ce5a89eb6766834bdc30
