CVE-2022-23563: Insecure temporary file in Tensorflow
(updated )
In multiple places, TensorFlow uses tempfile.mktemp to create temporary files. While this is acceptable in testing, in utilities and libraries it is dangerous as a different process can create the file between the check for the filename in mktemp and the actual creation of the file by a subsequent operation (a TOC/TOU type of weakness).
In several instances, TensorFlow was supposed to actually create a temporary directory instead of a file. This logic bug is hidden away by the mktemp function usage.
