GitHub Security Advisory

`CHECK_EQ` fail via input in `SparseMatrixNNZ`

✓ GitHub Reviewed MODERATE Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Impact
An input `sparse_matrix` that is not a matrix with a shape with rank 0 will trigger a `CHECK` fail in [`tf.raw_ops.SparseMatrixNNZ`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse/sparse_matrix.h).

```python
import tensorflow as tf
tf.raw_ops.SparseMatrixNNZ(sparse_matrix=[])
```

### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [f856d02e5322821aad155dad9b3acab1e9f5d693](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/f856d02e5322821aad155dad9b3acab1e9f5d693).

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.
