Description

TensorFlow is an open source machine learning platform. Prior to versions 2.12.0 and 2.11.1, `nn_ops.fractional_avg_pool_v2` and `nn_ops.fractional_max_pool_v2` require the first and fourth elements of their parameter `pooling_ratio` to be equal to 1.0, as pooling on batch and channel dimensions is not supported. A fix is included in TensorFlow 2.12.0 and 2.11.1.

Affected products

tensorflow: before 2.12.0 — fixed in 2.12.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: tensorflow 2.12.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
