The implementation of dlpack.to_dlpack can be made to use uninitialized memory resulting in further memory corruption. This is because the pybind11 glue code assumes that the argument is a tensor:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/python/tfe_wrapper.cc#L1361
However, there is nothing stopping users from passing in a Python object instead of a tensor.
In [2]: tf.experimental.dlpack.to_dlpack([2])

The uninitialized memory address is due to a reinterpret_cast
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/python/eager/pywrap_tensor.cc#L848-L850
Since the PyObject is a Python object, not a TensorFlow Tensor, the cast to EagerTensor fails.
We have patched the issue in 22e07fb204386768e5bcbea563641ea11f96ceb8 and will release a patch release for all affected versions.
We recommend users to upgrade to TensorFlow 2.2.1 or 2.3.1.
