GitHub Security Advisory

TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` fail in `DenseBincount`

✓ GitHub Reviewed MODERATE Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Impact
`DenseBincount` assumes its input tensor `weights` to either have the same shape as its input tensor `input` or to be length-0. A different `weights` shape will trigger a `CHECK` fail that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
binary_output = True
input = tf.random.uniform(shape=[0, 0], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int32, seed=-2460)
size = tf.random.uniform(shape=[], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int32, seed=-10000)
weights = tf.random.uniform(shape=[], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-10000)
tf.raw_ops.DenseBincount(input=input, size=size, weights=weights, binary_output=binary_output)
```

### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [bf4c14353c2328636a18bfad1e151052c81d5f43](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/bf4c14353c2328636a18bfad1e151052c81d5f43).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
