GitHub Security Advisory

Segfault due to negative splits in `SplitV`

✓ GitHub Reviewed MODERATE Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Impact
The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/e71b86d47f8bc1816bf54d7bddc4170e47670b97/tensorflow/core/kernels/split_v_op.cc#L49-L205) of `SplitV` can trigger a segfault is an attacker supplies negative arguments:

```python
import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.SplitV(
value=tf.constant([]),
size_splits=[-1, -2]
,axis=0,
num_split=2)
```

This occurs whenever `size_splits` contains more than one value and at least one value is negative.

### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [25d622ffc432acc736b14ca3904177579e733cc6](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/25d622ffc432acc736b14ca3904177579e733cc6).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
